Richard Henry WRIGHT
« on: Monday 21 September 09 10:51 UTC (UK) »

Hi there,

I'm looking for any information (particularly a birth) for a Richard Henry WRIGHT, and possibly his wife. I got his middle name from someone's tree, so I don't know for sure that it is correct. Richard married Mary Ann Hart, 9 Jun 1851, in Newborough, Northampton, England. They must have moved to Australia shortly after because they were situated in Adelaide, South Australia, when their first child Alice Jane Wright was born (cir 1855). I believe, but am not certain, that they came across to Australia on the "Oregon" in 1851. (The barque OREGON 1851, 521 tons, from Plymouth 12 - 07 1851 with Captain Williams, arrived Port Adelaide on October 31st, 1851 with 363 Government emigrants)

Richard may or may not have been born in Lincolnshire, circa 1822-1830. Mary Ann was born cir 1827-1830, also in England somewhere.

I've found both of these two hard to track because of the commonness of their names.

I know neither Richard or Mary Ann's parents' names.

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Lauren

Have you got their marraige cert? That seems to be a definite starting place, and will give you their fathers' names and occupations, and an age for Richard and Ann.

Unfortunately I can't afford a certificate (unless I bribe my dad to let me use his credit card...). I'm not entirely sure where to order one from either. I thank you for the suggestion, though.

Hi Lauren ...

Hope you won't think I'm being "picky" (I'm not!), but just to clarify for any other Rootschatters who may be able to help - the parish of Newborough was in the county of Northamptonshire (as opposed to the town of Northampton) until 1965, when it was transferred to the county of Huntingdonshire.

Richard and Mary Ann's marriage was recorded in the Peterborough registration district (which covers parishes in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire).

Unfortunately, this couple married after the 1851 census and it's not possible to identify them on the 1841 census (which, in any case, doesn't give places of birth).

I'm afraid that the only way forward on this one would seem to be (as already advised by the previous posting) to purchase the marriage certificate from www.gro.gov.uk (this is the official government website - don't use any others as they are far more expensive).  Using the marriage reference found on www.freebmd.org, it will cost you £7.00.

Oh, thank you very much for clarifying that, Pennie. I guess I should have researched a bit more before I put this up. All the counties are kind of confusing!

Thank you for that link also, I'll give it a look.

Hi Sandy,

Thank you very much for all that research. I really appreciate it. The trickiest part, as always, is determining whether that's the right Mary Hart, etc. But it's good to have a starting point, so thank you for it.

Hi again Lauren.

Well I think the link is there.

As John Hart married Elizabeth Johnson and Mary is residing the night
with her grand-parents the possibility is a baptism for Elizabeth.

Will see if I can find one.
