I will check that marriage date

I thought I had Mary’s marriage but it is Aunty Mary

The marriage I have for William Gardner and Mary Wright was on 24th March 1856. William bapt. 5/4/1824 Keswick Cumberland - father Isaac Gardner, mother Ann Dudley.

Sorry, yes it is March.

Forgot to say that Mary Gardner was a witness to the Lamb/Gardner marriage.

So Aunty Mary remarried - good on her. I didn't know that. Do you think Isabella Wright and Aunty Mary may have been cousins ie 2 Wright brothers maybe? If the marriage for Isabella to James 1857 in Ireland is ?correct then maybe William Wright and Richard Wright may be brothers.

Too many possibilities, lol.

I don’t know.
There are marriages for the boys Richard and James and I think you say you have followed them so they seem to stay together.

I haven't done any research into the boys Richard and James (13yrs and 10yrs) yet. Isabella who married Charles Wilson says her father was a carpenter.

William Gardner was an auctioneer valuer and Charles Wilson was an auctioneer's clerk so I figured he may have worked for William and that's how he met Isabella (1871 census).

I wonder how (niece) Mary's father died? Maybe boat building accident? She was young when he died.

Hi all, please don't think I'm being rude or unappreciative but it's really late here in OZ and I need to hit the sack. Will return in the morning. Marj
