Cartwright Family of Nottinghamshire

[niglor]

Looking for information on the Cartwright families of Nottinghamshire. Anybody researching please get in touch. My husbands aunt is visiting from the States and her mother was a Cartwright. Furthest I have got back is a William Cartwright who married Mary Hallam in 1812. Would like to see if inventor Edmund Cartwright is connected to family in anyway also.           Thanks Niglor

Hello Niglor,

I have Cartwrights in my family. Like you, I was hoping to connect them to Edmund or one of his other famous brothers, but I haven't managed it yet.

The Cartwright's I'm connected with were based in Nottingham, and the furthest I've got back to is Robert Cartwright (1789-1856), who married Ann Holmes (1785-1859).

There is a US connection: one of Robert's grandsons was William Aldam Cartwright, born Nottingham 1866, died USA 1936.

Let me know if you think there's a connection

I have just found out that the Cartwrights I have been researching are not my husbands!

Our William Cartwright was living in Dudley,West Midlands in 1901 and the William(I had) from Nottingham was a different one living with his father and siblings at the same time!

I had been looking at Nottingham as my father in law said the family were originally from there as does my husbands Aunt! Maybe the Cartwright/Nottingham connection goes back further? I am yet to find this as Im now stuck on Gt grandad Cartwright's parentage (Stourbridge?/Dudley).

Thanks for replying though.

The only William I have lived in Birkenhead in 1901..no Cartwrights of mine in the black country as far as I know.
