PCC Will Ann Sharp

[KiwiHugh]

Now thats determination! And should be illegal

[KiwiHugh]

I am still doing my head in trying to work out the relationship to all these people. I had assumed that the Elizabeth Heywood who married Richard Wright in 1796 was sister to William father of Joseph Benjamin,  Thomas father in law to widowed Mary Sophia and Joseph whose widow Ellen died in 1844 as well.  In 1841 you have Ellen Heywood 80, Ann Sharp 65, Sophia Wright 30 and Joseph Heywood 40 all in the same house. I had assumed that Joseph Heywood was actually Joseph Heywood Wright. Perhaps Elizabeth was just a cousin

I made a mistake.

You've probably worked this out for yourself by now, but just to confirm -  the Joseph Byron and Mr. Heywood at the beginning of the Will, is actually just one person - Mr Joseph Benjamin Heywood

  No I hadn't. He is my 3 great grandfather. When I said it was giving me a headache , it literally did and have only recently emerged from sleeping it off after a serious dose of prescription pain killers.  Stuggling with a marriage for a Joseph and Sarah. The only  likely Sarah I can see in  1841 in Greater London is with a younger Caroline. That will has thrown a serious spanner into my thinking

[KiwiHugh]

I have only recently connected the Wrights to the family and had pigeon holed Elizabeth as a younger sister to Joseph of Greenwich, William and wife Arrabella of London and Thomas of Plymouth..The Ellen they are living with in 1841 is Josephs widow and left a very helpful will

Did they have any children after 1838 after civil registration started?

You can use the GRO site https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp  to find mum's maiden name.

I hope you're joking about it naming your child after one who died should be illegal,as my husband was named after his 9 month old baby brother who died just 18 months before he was born,and very proud of it he is too,as it was their Irish grandfather's name.

[KiwiHugh]

No I was joking. Just makes watching the dates down to the day so much more exacting.
