Hi I'm having a lot of issues trying to find the parents of George Wright, my 3x Gt Grandfather, he was born in Basford Nottinghamshire in 1850, but I'm having issues finding the right parents for him, any help appreciated.
-
Presumably he married, who does he name as his father. Who did he marry and when
ADDED
Have you discounted this birth.
WRIGHT, GEORGE mmn SHIPMAN
GRO Reference: 1850 M Quarter in BASFORD Volume 15 Page 470
-
He married Annie Bennett who was born in Eastwood in 1865.
Yes I've looked at that one, he doesn't feature on the 1851 census with them.
-
There is a George Wright with parents John & Hannah in 1851 Calverton :-\
-
We have been here before ;D

-
It looks as though they married in the registry Office so it will not be available online
-
The George in Calverton was bapt JAMES GEORGE Wright 01 Apr 1851, St Wilfrid, Calverton.
Parents JOHN/HANNAH
Father a Stockinger
He seems to have married 1875 but widowed by 1881 and remarried by 1891.
So not likely yours.
-
Bit of an unusual one?
Male Birth Reg
WRIGHT, - mmn ALDRED
GRO Reference: 1849 M Quarter in BASFORD Volume 15 Page 497
Plus another.
WRIGHT, - mmn PARKES
GRO Reference: 1850 J Quarter in BASFORD Volume 15 Page 469
EDIT;
Second likely Parents Sarah PARKES/Elijah WRIGHT who married 1849 (FreeREG)
May have died though as not with Parents 1851 Census
-
I looked for George c 1852 +/- 2 years Notts without surname in 1851/1861 Census.
I kept coming back to this one;
I have no idea if related or not.
1861 Census
John Haley 34 Head Widr
George Wright 9 Son-in-law (stepson)
Hannah Wright 7 Daughter-in-law
Mary Hiley 5 Daughter
Rosa Ann Hiley 2 Daughter
Jane Burden 25 Housekeeper
There is a GEORGE Wright bapt 7 Jul 1851 Normanton to ANN Wright
+ HANNAH 29 Jan 1854
(FreeREG)
1871 Rose Ann is a 12 year old servant
Looks like John has remarried.
Also on FreeREG Marriage of Ann WRIGHT/John HILEY 29 Jun 1854
And Burial of ANN Hiley 02 Dec 1860 Elkesley age 30
Maybe not yours either as possibly in Yorks in later Census.
My point is Goege may have been illeg and Mother married later.
As said earlier you need the M/C to Annie to solve this one :)
-
Thank you for this, sorry only just got a chance to check for messages.
George's son Walter died in 1912, and on the death certificate George puts his name as George Shooter Wright, no idea where the Shooter came from.

Could George have been born with surname Shooter?

Thank you so much. I think it's solved, someone who I have dna matches with has also added Elizabeth as George's mother.
-
Well done Ladyhawk.
I had a feeling he would be illegitimate. :)

Thanks Trish :) - its was reading through the replies and seeing your suggestion and ClareLisa comment about the name Shooter being on his son Walter's d/c thought I'd see if there was a birth for a George Shooter born c1850 and follow him through on the censuses
Thank you so much.

Fingers crossed it proves to be your George :)
