Dear Friends

I posted this on the general forum but hope soemone with Knowledge of London might be able to help.

I am looking for Letter of Administration for Richard Wright please see below.

Richard Wright (Goldsmith) of Henrietta Street, St Pauls, Covent Garden, London UK was buried 28th April 1724 at South Weald Church Essex.

His wife Martha was named as an 'Administrator' (not Executor) she died before administration was granted and their son Anthony Wright (Goldsmith) got landed with the administration: see

'Anthony Wright, goldsmith of St Paul Covent Garden, Middlesex (son and administrator of Richard Wright, deceased, of goods unadministered by Martha Wright his late widow, and executor of said Martha Wright).....

The National Archives  Reference: • C 11/869/51

This was a well to do Catholic family.

Any help greatly appreciated
Peter
