Edward WRIGHT of Penzance
« on: Monday 21 September 09 01:01 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for information about an Edward Wright (d. Sept 1865 at Penzance).

He married Charlotte Dewdney (b. abt 1826 at Budleigh Salterton, Devon) at Newton Abbot, Devon in December 1862.  She was the sister of Edgar Dewdney, at that point future Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia (Canada).

I have not been able to find any information on him and would appreciate any assistance the Board can give me.

Many thanks,

Lili

How old was he when he died?

Do you have a copy of the marriage cert showing his occupation and also his fathers name and occupation.  The marriage cert may show his age at that time

Although he married in Cornwall - he may not have been born there

Hi Carole.

Marriage and death certs have been ordered but while I was waiting, I thought I see if he rang bells for anyone.  I'm guessing that they lived in Devon and were down for a holiday...  Although I suspect December was a tad nippy for holiday makers...

Although we know that Charlotte later took a decade plus off her age, she would have been 35 when she married in 1862.  Edward could have been up to a decade younger and even twenty- or more years her senior... we just don't know yet.

Thanks, Lili
