Bishopauckland birth

[janeann]

My great grandfather was John Wright born 1872 in Bishopauckland, I am unable to find a father for him, can anyone help. I do know he later married Margaret Patterson and I think he died in 1925.  Thanks

The marriage certificate to Margaret should give the name of his father.

Have you found him on a census with Margaret?

[janeann]

I have found him in the census records, but never with a mother or father.
I will order a marriage certificate as you suggest but how do I find which quarter they got married, can you help me to find out. thanks

Hi
Have a look at www.freebmd.org.uk     With luck you should find his marriage and his birth registrations.  Do order from the GRO site as others can be much more expensive.  However, it is a very common name so if you can give us more information, such as census records, it will help to find him.

Which census did you find them on? Where were they living? Did they have any children?

All of the above would help to narrow down the possibilities as Wright is a fairly common name.

I found John Wright on the 1901 census, married to Margaret with a daughter Sarah j,  They then went on to have another daughter Agnes Andrew Wright born 1911.  As far has I know they lived in Sunderland at 119 Cairo Street.
I must admit to getting very confused because of the number of John Wright's

[Milliepede]

Yes common names are confusing.

I couldn't really see a marriage to fit, there was a family tree with Benjamin Wright marrying Margaret Patterson but that could simply be a different family altogether.

[Milliepede]

Where does Patterson for Margaret come from - a birth for one of the children?

[Milliepede]

As far has I know they lived in Sunderland at 119 Cairo Street.

That address has daughters Gladys and Ethel - is that the correct family?
