Hello Expert Rooters,
I've traced my husband's mother's family back to a bunch of Smiths, based around Lynn (Kings, South etc). The furthest I have reached are George and Wright as per the title. Married in 1774, I expect both were born between 1745 and 1755. While I realise it's almost impossible to find out which George this is from the many George Smiths born in this period, I would have though an unusual first name like Wright should be traceable, but I cannot progress. It is not a transcription error on the marriage record, as she is named as Wright as mother on earch of the records for 4 little Wright Smiths born in the 1780s.
Details from Ancestry free: George Smith = Wright Eldridge
Banns 28/8/1774
Marriage 31/8/1774
Lynn, Norfolk
Children: George, James, Benjamin and Ann
If anyone can suggest births and parentage for either, I'd be very grateful.
Cheers
Drinks
