Looking for help to confirm a date of death for Susannah Wright (b.1850)

[SarahEliza]

Hello,

I'm trying to confirm a date of death for Susannah Wright, who was born in 1850 in Cobham, Surrey. Her parents were Abraham and Susannah Wright.

Abraham Wright was a millwright and wheelwright. As a point of interest, he was involved with Cobham Mill. In 1861, Susannah was living in Cobham with her parents and siblings. In 1871, she was working as a cook in Forest Gate, West Ham. In 1881, Susannah was living in Thames Ditton, Surrey, with her two children. She wasn't married. In 1891, she was living in Croydon, Surrey. Susannah had five children (born between 1875 and 1885), who all took her surname, as she didn't marry, which was obviously quite unconventional at the time.

Some of the info on census and other records, in relation to Susannah, is sometimes inaccurate for various reasons, so I just need to confirm a correct date of death, please.

Many Thanks.

Could you please give details of 1891 census including reference

[SarahEliza]

Thank you for your reply.

On the 1891 census, Susannah's birth year is given as 1846, which isn't her correct year of birth. She is living with her four youngest children; William, Kate, Lucy and Roland.

In terms of the reference; I can tell you that the Registration Number for the record is RG12. The Piece/Folio number is 593/ 33.

Thank you for the 1891 details - Ancestry have the children with surname Blackley 

Have you located all of the children in 1901

I know she would have been getting on in years but have you eliminated this marriage

Hi Rosie99,

Thank you for your time. Yes, it's possible that she may have married in the end. I know that the father of the five children died suddenly in 1900, so Susannah could have married someone else in 1901.

I've never heard the surname Blackley. By 1901, Susannah's eldest son Otto was married and a father himself. I think that I have located Susannah's other children. Lucy was a maid and Roland a cabin boy, I think. It's possible that the Blackley's could be another set of children. I'm not sure.

Thank you very much again for all your help.
Sarah.

Susanna and her children were lodging with the Blackley family in 1891, Ancestry have transcribed it wrongly their surname should be Wright.
