Hi guys
new to this,so you'll have to bear with me
i have 4 generations of boatmen in my family tree,by the name 'Wright', and all have links to Tipton, Toll End Road.
William Wright 1875-1918, Boatman, married Mary-Ann Bailey in 1892, Tipton
daur Bertha Wright (my great grandmother)
-Son of-
John Wright 1845-abt 1918 Boatman, Married Elizabeth Ralph (father John Ralph, Boatman)
John was born in Stanton, Derbyshire. Censuses show him living in Toll End 1881-1901
-son of-
William Wright 1823-1889 Boatman, Married Maria Currey Wagstaff in 1846, Tipton (Parents James Wagstaff and Mary Currey, Boatman)
William was born in Stourport in 1823, along with 5 other siblings,yet none are shown on familysearch.com- i have copies of baptisms.
Both are buried in Tipton Cemetery, Spent their later lives at Toll End again
-son of-
Thomas Wright and Sarah.....
This is where i hit my dead end.All 6 children are baptised in Stourport
John Wright, 1821
William Wright, 1823
Benjamin Wright, 1825
Sarah Wright, 1827
Elizabeth Wright, 1829
Samuel Wright, 1834
All are extremely patchy on cesuses, but i cannot get the wright line in Stourport any further back.I know there are another 5 Wright families Baptised in Stourport, But none are Boatmen, and none seem related.Can you or anyone else help??
If not, i hope some of the info i have collected can help others.Other Boatman names i have linked to my Wrights are:
Ashley
Ralph
Diggory
Beresford
Nixon
Whitehouse
Broughton
Hope i can help someone, even if they cant help me
thanx
Stuart

Hello Stuart
I have Whitehouse boatman, and also a link to Stourport with Hall (early 1800's) .
Two Hall sisters married Hodgetts brothers who also were boatmen.
What whitehouse names do you have.
Jackie.

Hi Sonia
Had a look at my information and the following is what I have found
David Wood son of Benjamin and Harriet (Harrison) Wood born: 1873 at Oldbury. He married Ellen Slater Nixon born: at Penkridge
David employed as a Boatman
Children of David and Ellen(Slater Nixon) Wood
1. John Wood born: Penkridge
2. jane Wood born: Penkridge
3. David Wood born: Tipton
4. Emily Wood Born: 1900 Wolverhampton
5. Thomas Edward Wood born: 1900 Penkridge
Think this is what you are after
Have a bit of info on Benjamin and Harriet (harrison) Wood
let me know if you want this
Will have a look on my Boat Register information and see if any off these appear
Regards
Ann

Hi Sonia
Was Lois Daniel born 1792 the 2nd wife of Thomas Wood?
If this is the right family I have some information that might be helpful to you.
Regards
Ann
