John Wright... Another one 1798 Lathbury?

[flateric999]

Hi,

I hope, as we all have different ways of searching someone might be able to find this guy. Reliably. Trouble is there are a heck of a lot of John Wrights making me  little confused lol.

So what do i know. "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JQHX-HTY : accessed 26 Aug 2014), John Wrighte, 11 Nov 1798; citing Lathbury, Buckingham, England, reference Item 3; FHL microfilm 1999405.

Gives me my only citation confirming his existance to Parents Abraham (1758 i think, married to Eleanor?)

So did he die? if so when? if he lived is on a cencus anywhere??

Lavendon or Lathbury ?

[flateric999]

Now there is a good question. Family search says Lathbury, which as you know sits on the Newport to Stoke Goldington Road Lavendon is, of course, near Olney.

I think the Lavendon John, who has a substantial evidence is a different John. However records may be wrong. I do know I should find either a death record or a cencus entry.

As per Philimore's Bucks PR on a CD I have; Lathbury Marriages have Abraham Wrighte marrying Eleanor Stow on 22 Aug 1797. However there are 2 previous Abraham Wright marriages; the first on 8 Aug 1782 to Mary Judge & the second as a widower on 27 Feb 1783 to Ann Clerk by licence

Abraham and Eleanor appear to be the parents of John. They have a son, Abraham as well.

John, or at least a John of the right age does marry Hannah, and there is a couple of this name baptizing children in Emberton, i need to dig a bit to get some supporting evidence on this.

From the Lathbury registers on microfilm at MK library.....

John Wright, son of Abraham & Elinor Wrighte baptised 11 Nov 1798
Elinor Wrighte, daughter of Abraham & Elinor Wright baptised 3 Mar 1800
Mary Ann Wright, daughter of Abraham & Elinor Wright, born 9 Oct baptised 8 Nov 1801
.... + she was buried 17 Dec 1801
Abraham Wright, son of Abraham & Eleanor Wright baptised 8 July 1804

Prior to that is baptism on 13 July 1783 of Richard Wright, son of Abraham & Mary Wright
I think this is the same Abraham..... this is son of Abraham Wright & Mary Judge who married 8 Aug 1782 and then a Mary Wright was buried 12 Sept 1785 but it does not say wife of Abraham, nor does the marriage of Abraham Wrighte to Eliner Stow on 22 Aug 1797 say that he's a widower or a singleman, there's no status. NB All parties are of this parish.

However Abraham signs his name and the signatures look very similar on the marriage register. Secondly a Jane Wright is witness to the Mary Judge marriage & she also witnesses marriage on 16 Jul 1783 of George Groves to Sarah Judge. Jane Wright next marries John Atkins on 11 Aug 1785 where witnesses are Gerard Leach & Ann Curtiss. On 24 Dec 1789 Richard Wrighte marries Ann Clark Curtiss with witnesses Abraham Wright & John Atkins. Finally the witnesses to Abraham's marriage to Elinor Stow are Gerrard Leach & Erin Curtiss.   

Richard & Ann Wrighte baptised daughter Maria on 3 May 1791 (born Oct 29); then daughter Charlotte on 3rd May 1793 and son George Curtiss Wright on 5 Dec 1794 (born 26 Nov) but he was buried 12 July 1795

Thus it seems possible that Abraham, Richard & Jane Wrighte are the same family.

Cheers for now

Brilliant work John, greatly appreciate this.

I had similar thoughts that there where strong family links here.

Right, more digging to do.

Now,

i had a little look and i noted i had these names already. Jane (1763) and Richard (1767) may have been siblings born to Abraham Wright and Esther Coaley, from Stoke goldington. Another Abraham (1757) is there brother.

Is it he then who marries mary Judge?

If this is correct, Abraham and Esther could be brother and sister in law to our Charles who marries Ruth


I'll build this into my online tree later but it is an interesting find.


Regards


Mike
