Wright / Rixon / Wade families of Sheerness
« on: Sunday 27 July 08 14:00 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I am looking for info on the WRIGHT/RIXON / PENMAN and WADE families of Sheerness.

William Jospeh Wright married Elizabeth Anne Rixon in Sheerness 1875. They had many children. William was a Chargeman of Shipwrights. The family lived at 30 Unity Street,Sheerness,Kent until 1903 when they left England to start a new life in Simonstown,South Africa.

William Jospeh's father was John Wright a shipwright he was married to Mary Ann Penman. Her parents where Jospeh Penman and Mary ?.

Not all the sons went to South Africa and I would dearly love to know if anyone has any info on the remaining sons or their families. William John George Wright was one of the sons who stayed behind.

Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Amanda
