Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Help wanted to understand Ancestry.com ThruLines

If your matches have (reasonably) accurate trees which are linked to their DNA result, they should show up in Thrulines. 
(It can be a bit frustrating when you can tell from  someone's tree how they are related to you, but  Thrulines and the common ancestor feature don't work because their tree is unlinked)

Cornwall / Re: Birth and marriage not found

Nothing showing, with connection to Cornwall, in FreeBMD, nor Ancestry for Sydney Tann.  However, there is a death in Cornwall for Thomas Sidney Tann, plus birth and marriage registrations for Thomas S Tann in Cornwall/Devon.



There is a younger man, who appears to be the son of Thomas Sidney Tann, born in 1946.  He died in 2006 registered as Michael Thomas Sidney Tann - although the birth index shows Thomas M S Tann.  He was married in 1968 in St Austell.

Until the 'no-fault' divorce became law on 1 January 1971, only the 'innocent' partner in a marriage could initiate divorce proceedings - or choose not to do so.

The Common Room / Re: Mary Ann Wright .. mystery 4Th great grandmother help please

I think Caroline is Thomas Wright's wife.  Thomas (being older than Susan) was probably already married by 1841, so the witnesses to Susan's marriage - T. Wright and Caroline Wright would be her brother and s-i-l.

Thomas Wright 24 bachelor s/o William Wright gardener married Caroline Smith 28 widow d/o Francis Saunders at Walthamstow 18 November 1840.  (transcript only - witnesses not included)

Caroline Wright in censuses gives her birthplace as Dunstable, Bedfordshire.  There is a matching baptism of Caroline Saunders d/o Francis and Martha in 1812, and a marriage at Dunstable in 1831 of Caroline Saunders to Thomas Smith.

England / Re: could a will lead to finding great grandmothers grave
« on: Monday 15 April 24 12:57 BST (UK)  »
By chance I have just read a will written in 2002 in which the testator requests that the ashes of her husband be placed in her coffin, along with those of her two dogs, before her own cremation.  After this, she wanted the ashes to be spread "over my garden".

Not so far. 
I see that Susan Wright is with Thomas and Caroline in 1841 census.

Children of William (gardener) and Ann Wright baptised at St John, Hackney.

Elias Heintz 26 July 1815
Thomas 16 March 1817
Ann 31 Dec 1820
Susannah 10 August 1823 (which would mean that she was about 17 when Susan Wright married Anthony Fisk in 1841)

the address given in each case is Newington.

In 1851 census there is a couple named Thomas and Caroline Wright living in Tower Hamlets - Thomas Wright is aged 34 and born in Hackney.

Who did Susan Wright marry?

I have been looking for marriages of people named Wright with a father named William, who is also a gardener, as Mary Ann's father is.  So far only found Elizabeth Wright marrying George Gillott 8.11.1847 at St Leonard, Shoreditch.
Plenty of other Wrights marrying in the same general area around that time whose fathers are named William, but gardeners are thin on the ground, it seems.
