Amelia Wright - died 1888
« on: Monday 26 June 17 20:40 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on a woman named Amelia Wright. I have a memoriam card which states; "In loving memory of AMELIA, (Widow of the late William Wild Wright.) who fell asleep in Jesus 27th December 1888. Aged 65, and was on this day interred at the Southern Cemetery Manchester. 28, Carter Street Greenbergs, 29, Decb. 1888"
This is the only information I have on her. After some research I found record of a memorial at the Manchester General Cemetery of a woman named Amelia Wright who died Dec. of 1888, but the record wasn't complete. Is there any way you can help me find any information on Amelia or Williams burial? I would be very grateful for you help, thank you, Aaron.

Hello Aaron and welcome  :)

Here she is in 1871 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KD6B-RR9

Family Search will show you the household members for each census but not the actual copy censuses.

Do you have access to any family history sites?

Is this what you are looking for?

Amelia Wright 27
William E Beech, nephew 14 born Lintwistle Derbyshire

1861 still Stockport at 15 Park Street, with children Selina 6, Thomas 4, George 2, Joseph 1 not registered, perhaps this should be 1 month not 1 year.

1871 they have moved to Manchester, 24 St Andrews Square
Children Selina 16, Thomas 14, George 12, Amelia 6

1881 they are at 25 Carter Street Manchester
