Charles Wright - Westminster Records

[PaulJC]

Thanks,

What a strange turn of events. No wonder I couldnt find him in the Census. I will check his wife and the children to see if I can pinpoint where they are. Thomas was in the Indian army by 1845.

George's father--Charles Wright --deceased, mother Eliza Scott, formerly Wright, Maiden surname Wright.

Thanks,
Can you explain the mother here......Eliza Scott (remarried?) and that she was also called Wright before her marriage to Charles?

[QueenoftheWest]

Eliza Wright, widow, married William Pulteney (sp?) Scott on 12 Oct 1839 in St. John, Hackney. Her father was George William Wright, esquire, so she was indeed a Wright by birth.

So is there a marriage record of Charles Wright and Eliza Wright at the right period?

Poor old Charles didnt last long after the newspaper article about his state of mind if his widow remarried in 1839.

Any ideas about his date of birth?

Still looking for more information on Charles, but I finally managed to find Eliza and children on the 1841 census:

There was a baptism at St James of an Ann Pudsey Wright 26 May 1788 with parents Thomas & Ann.  Could this be Charles sister

This couple also had a son called Charles in 1791, so definitely looks possible.

SCOTT    William Puitrney    70    Kensington    1a   137    
SCOTT    William Pulteney    70    Kensington    1a   137

[softly softly]

William P*  Scott left a probate record in 1875. It names his widow as Charlotte Mary.

Marriage
Marriages Dec 1870
 
DRAKE    Maria        Kensington    1a   15

So it looks like Eliza died 1861-1870
