I am looking for anyone connected with Buchan Warren Wright, born in 1809 and married 5th April 1836. Other family members include William, Nicola, Isabella, Edwina, Frances Robina, Margaret and Agnes. I am not a member of this family, but have access to a book which may be of interest.

They don't appear to have had children, so the later marriage may be the same chap - rather than any possible son

Thank you so much for your help, but what I actually need is someone living to whom I can pass on the book I mentioned. It would be a shame to dispose of it as I am sure there must be someone out there who would like it. I do appreciate the effort you have all gone to!

As Buchan didn't seem to have fathered any children, the only hope of finding a connection is through any possible siblings he may have had.

Do you have surname(s) and birth years for the other people whose names you list?

Have you tried looking in search trees for any of the people found?

No, not yet, Flick. I've just moved house and don't have a lot of time at the moment but I will get round to it at some point. I just thought the sooner I started a search the better. Thank you for your suggestions.
