Can anyone help I'm looking for the maiden name and her family of my ggf's wife he was William Wright born 1813c in Gedney Lincs and married a Maria ? she was born in Long Sutton Lincs in c1816. I have got lost since trying to find relatives prior to 1837.
Also trying to get confirmation of the wife of William Wrights father born c1760 in Gedney Possibly a Sarah Route born c1780 in Lincs.

Hi laurie45

Welcome to Rootschat

Possible marriage for you.

31 May 1836
 
William Wright to Maria Wilkin, parish Gedney, East Elloe, Lincs

Do you know when their first child was born?

Hi

Do you have the census for 1841 and 1851 for this family? In 1851 there is a Mary Ann Wilkins, widow, staying with the family, unfortunately described as inmate. In 1841 William and Maria are living next door to a Mary Wilkins, widow. I wonder if she is Maria's mother.

Hi Evie

I am lead to believe that the first child was a John William Wright born Gedney 1838 Sept.
Mary Ann Wright born 1839,  Maria Wright born 1842,  James Wright born 1845, Sarah Wright born 1848, Elizabeth Wright born 1850.

The big confusion is with her mother and father. The 1841 census shows her as a inmate next door but her name is with a S :ie Wilkins. So not sure if that is her mother.
In the 1851 census it shows her as a Pauper.

How can I trace her parents as I cannot find anything on Ancestry.com.

Hi Laurie

I've just had a closer look at the 1841 census and I think she is actually in the same household as at the beginning of William Wright there is // then at the end of Mary Wright  / then at the end of Mary Wilkins // She is down as Widow in the occupation column.

It could be that the marriage has been transcribed as Wilkin, maybe at the end of Wilkin there was a squiggle that was meant to be an s. Difficult to say without seeing the actual record.

I cannot see any birth for Maria at the moment. I did notice that Mary was not born in the county in 1841.
