Army records circa 1870

[Kloumann]

Unable to find a marriage for a George Wright to a Susannah Louisa Watts.

Did find a marriage in 1859 Lambeth, for a Susannah Watts to a William Bishop.

Coincidence or what?

George jr birth was reg'd in Lewisham 1866 & Percival in Greenwich 1867

The owner of this tree on Ancestry believes that the family went under the name of Bishop in the censuses: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/120878944/person/122122051573/facts

Do you know -- I was looking for the marriage and found the Bishop one - and also the tree on Ancestry.

We don't know the census year Alison mentioned, where the Wright family were found. Or were they? Was it just George who was found?

[Kloumann]

On the 1861 census, Lewisham

William H Bishop, Sergent Major Rifle Corps, age 39, born Cornwall

Susan Bishop, age 27, born Sydenham

William B Bishop, age 14, son

[Pennines]

Oh well found Kloumann -- I was too bone idle to search! But I wouldn't have found that - I was looking for a George Wright.

There is a death in Woolwich 1873 of a George Wright. Possible?

A Percival William Wright, age 0, died Shoreditch, 1868. Could be the other son?
