eliabeth wright nee carr nee young

Daughter is crossed out on the death certificate. What does the correction (17) say at the side?

It's a simple numbered correction - the registrar just wrote daughter before the informant had signed the entry, so crossed it through. The marginal note will say "seventeen" and be initialled by the registrar.

yes same arthur

I might have the wrong Arthur here. This is from a tree.
Did he go from a Draper’s assistant for over twenty years to a Ganger on the railway?

[mckha489]

I thought perhaps Arthur is single in 1911
A farm labourer age 49
Born Stamford, Lincolnshire

Modified to add

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7Y6-H1Z
The image clearly shows Arthur born Stamford

Benjamin Carr dies 1914 (perhaps) and by 1921 Arthur & Elizabeth are together saying they are married

[heywood]

The tree I mentioned has Arthur in Shoreditch as a Draper’s assistant from 1881.

However 1891 668/49
Arthur Wright 26 yrs b Stamford is living with Thomas and Henrietta Harpum in Aylesford, Kent as brother in law to Thomas.

Henrietta Fitzjohn b 1847, Stamford

Harriet Fitzjohn married Thomas Wright in 1849

As mentioned previously, Arthur Beaver Wright mmn Fitzjohn

Added - just to note
1881 - Arthur is with his parents, Thomas and Harriet

I can’t see him though in 1901

[clare sharp 14]

yes arthur did go back to sister and his parents, in 1901 he was in Shoreditch says hes single. in 1911 in Bawtry yorkshire as a windower. i have just got his marriage cert to elizabeth carr in 1931 and confirms he is a widower so definatley seeking a first marriage

[heywood]

It’s odd that I can’t see records in the published tree now but it seems unusual that a draper’s assistant would become a Ganger as I wrote previously.

Is this the 1901 record you have?
1901 272 /29;50

Arthur Wright, 41 yrs Draper’s Assistant, b Stamford, Lincs
Working at Dawsons,  Shoreditch

I would think that Arthur is this person:
1891  248/36
Pitfield, Shoreditch
Arthur Wright, 27 yrs, Draper’s Assistant, b Stamford, Rutlandshire
He is living with several other assistants
and
1881 521/58/13
High Street, Southwark
Arthur Wright, 18 years, Draper's Assistant, b Stamford, Lincs
Living with several others

The one mckha489 found seems more likely

The 1911 person may well be him of course. What was his occupation in 1921 ?

[mckha489]

What was his occupation in 1921 ?

Builder’s foreman
