Well this gets interesting!

1841 census HO107/167/15 fol. _ p.1
Longtown Union Workhouse, Arthuret, Cumberland

Margaret Logan 20              b. Cumberland
Mary           "      8 months              "

names bracketed together so most likely mother & daughter, but not much help finding her parents   
will look for other Logans in Longtown, wonder what happened to the baby, not with John & Margaret in 1851
birth reg Mary Logan 1840 Dec Qu Longtown &c 25/113

There's a Thomas Logan and a Robert Logan in 1841 Longtown area, but neither with parents, and a married Edward, could be Margaret's brothers, but unable to confirm that.  No sign of little Mary after 1841, perhaps adopted?

Barbara
again thanks,
I looked on the free BMD site to try and locate a marriage for John and Margarets, but with no luck.
Is there anywhere else I can to look?

Regards

You can use freembd to go through the images, go to homepage and click on 'images' at foot of page, or on ancestry, but it takes a while,
full indexes at findmypast but pay-to-view

I imagine the marriage was 1841-1845, as first child Elizabeth born c1846 Gateshead, so possibly either Gateshead or Longtown area 

It might be easier to look for Margaret Logan in marriages than John Wright, or perhaps you could post a request on the Cumberland board for a Parish register lookup for her birth and/or marriage??

I found this info on the above site

Marriage June 1841- John Wright.    Longtown.   Vol 25 page 101.
Unfortunately it doesn't give the name of the bride.

It may not be him though, there was another family of Wrights living in Longtown in 1841 with a John born same time as your John, but born Cumberland I've looked through marriages for Margaret Logan 1841-1845, can't see anything suitable.


To go back to the earlier census I promised, Robert Wright's brother John who married Elizabeth Fleet...

Marriage June 1841- John Wright.    Longtown.   Vol 25 page 101.
Unfortunately it doesn't give the name of the bride.

It gives two brides' names, Mary Irving and Jane Tweddle, will check 1851 census for them

There's a John & Jane Irving in 1851 so I think he married Jane Tweddle, and in 1851 he's a widower living with his father David in Longtown, so doesn't fit your John.

I looked for a John Wright baptism in my Bedlington transcript 1813-1839.  there are 4 of them

John Wright baptised 11 Sept 1814 s/o Thomas and Dorothy
John Wright baptised 31 July 1815 s/o Jane
John Wright baptised 2 June 1825 s/o Mary
John Wright baptised 10 Dec 1826 s/o Thomas and Elizabeth

The census records you have found seem to be more consistant with the last one there.
