Hi Barry
Thanks For the interesting info  here is my line

My route goes through.
Joseph Grundy 1776 Johns Brother
Jane Watkinson 1774
Married 1798

Then Thomas Grundy 1799
     Ann Penniston 1801
Married 1825
 Then to my great Gran
   Jane Grundy 1839 Sheffield
   Thomas Dunkin Wright 1832 Campsall Doncaster
  Married 1858
 
Then to my Granddad
  Walter Wright 1870
 Marie Morley 1873
 Married 1899

Thomas Wright 1905/Elizabeth Wiseman 1915
  Then Me and my sister
and by tradition my name is Thomas.

There are two Alfred Greens born 1854 in chippenham one to a David Green not mine and my Alfred born to Robert Green and Eliza Downing Chippenham  so I assume that the 1871 as a solder is my Alfred as the other one is still at home with his parents .
  now in the 1881 he is up here in the north of England in Rawtenstall Lancashire with just his wife Susan Howlett married in 1876  plus a son  name George 1874 ?? Born in Chippenham or so it says ? But not on the 81Census.
      I also found the second Alfred in the 1881 Census and he is a Domestic servant in Chelsea London  for a captain in the Royal Horse guards name of Kilmarnock .
     So I have to say it looks like the  one in the coldstream guards is my Alfred   or is it ?

Thanks trevor

  I am looking for Alfred Green born 1854/1933 to Robert Green and Eliza Downing in
Chippenham, Cambridgeshire He went missing between 1871 /1881 and I think that he may have been in the army as in the 1871 census there is an Alfred Green in a London barracks how do I find out or dose someone know . Thank you so much Tom.

Hi Oly and Lee,
                         Thanks to you both for the help in finding Elizabeth Donkin now I will hopefully go further back in time with her,  I could never understand why the name Donkin/Dunkin Wright  was given to all my Ancestor ( now I know) from around 1800 to my great granddad Thomas Dunkin Wright 1832/1903 Campsall then for some reason he give up the middle name. Will have to go to Campasll at some point in the summer time to have a look for my self it looks very much like Starbotton and Kettlewell where mum was born.

                 Thank you so much Regards Tom .

Hi Oly

    I have searched in all 3 villages Campsal/Norton/Askern and even went over to Fishlake where Thomas Wright 1684 was born to see if there were any Donkin`s there but no luck as the years go by the name Donkin has been recorded as Dunkin/Duncan .  Its looking like Elizabeth Donkin around 1776 ish and her parents are going to be lost in the mist of time.
                 Thanks Regards Tom
