Hi Carol

 

Hope the weather is not too cold in Oz at the moment.  We are enjoying hot sunny weather here in the British Isles.

 

To answer your second question first, Lincoln is a town in the county of Lincolnshire (Lincs.).  Sleaford is another town in the county of Lincolnshire.

 

I will look at your file again and get back to you on John.

 

Marian

Hi again Carol

 

Now about your John Wright.  I have gone over the whole file again and I see that I did actually post the 1881 census transcription in message 34, the one where we find John Wright born in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.  Here it is again:

 

 

 

Carol, I must stress that you do need to be absolutely certain in your own mind that you have the correct William Wright's birth certificate before going back to find his parents. 

 

I am of course happy to continue helping in your search.

 

Marian 

Hi Marian

 

Glad the weather is finally getting warmer for you, no not too cold here we dont get snow so I suppose it doesn't get as cold as it does over there anyway. But in saying that I prefer the cold instead of the heat anyway.

We are getting nice warm days but cold nights at the moment .... and hoping for rain we need rain really bad.

 

Yes i am as certain as i can be that i have the right william wright, the birth cert i have for him i got from my cousin in england and he assures me that it has been cross matched with other documents.

 

If his birth cert is wrong then everything i have for the ryans, cravens and wiggins is of no use.

 

Also i have an internment register entry from where he was buried with my uncle who is in a war grave at scholemoor cemetery which gives his date of birth and death. So I do think that it is the right one

 

Carol

Hi Carol

 

Thanks for your assurance that we do have the correct William Wright.  I shall continue on with the search and post my findings on here as usual.

 

Take care

Marian

Hi Marian

 

I am wondering if you have any idea where i can find information on the Maria Wiggins that has been mistaken for Mary Wiggins I have searched everywhere and the only place that she comes up is in the 1851 census there is a batpismal entry on igi for her as well but that is all i can find.

 

Carol

Hi Carol

 

I will check this out for you as soon as I can.  Also, I haven't forgotten about John Wright, and will get on to that search again.  So please bear with me.

 

Thanks for your patience.

 

Marian

Hi Marian

 

Thank you ... No great hurry .... I didn't think that you had forgotton, I have no doubt that you are helping a great number of people, and I wish I could think of some way of repaying you.. you have been such a great help.

 

Carol

Hi Carol

 

This looks like John's birth and death records.  We know from the census that he died between 1881 and 1891, and this one in 1885 is the only one that fits the timeframe, place and age.

 

 

Births Mar 1848

Hi Carol

 

I also found this on the LDS site in my searchings.  Not sure if related, but I feel she could be, so thought I would post.

 

And again in Free BMD -

 

 

Sadly, it seems that she did not survive.

 

Marian

 

Hi Marian

 

How are you I have come to a stand still at the moment with my tree everywhere I try and find someone it is someone called John and there are millions and millions...lol... I am not only looking for a John Wright who is Williams father but also a John Hart who was Bridget Ryan's husband that is why i havnt been in touch

 

regards Carol

Hi Carol

 

Nice to have you back again.  How is winter in Oz?  It's lovely and warm in Ireland - 22 degrees C which is comfortable, and we are still getting some rain for the garden.  If you want any help with all your Johns just let me know.  I still have your info on file.

 

Marian 

Hi Marian

 

Has been unusally cold in oz this year, has been snowing in places that have not had snow before and temperatures breaking records as being the coldest days on record for particular days .... makes you wonder if the movie The Day After Tomorrow might have some truth in it....

 

Anyway I would very much appreciate any help on my John's that you can give, I don't have any more info than what I have given you but I will recheck all my documents and the emails I have and if I come across any thing else I will let you know....

 

On another note I noticed that you are helping Bernard looking for Edmund Ward ... Bernard is my father I have been on to him forever to contact this group for help.... I have told him how much you have helped me ...

 

Anyway enjoy your summer dont sit too long in front of the computer go out and enjoy the sun .... winter will be upon you before you know it....

 

Best Wishes Carol

Hi Carol i remember you Mentioning him to me on genes.Im glad he joined

 

Take care

 

Mike

Hi Carol

 

Very nice to hear from you again.  We had lovely weather in May and early June here, but since then it has rained and rained and rained.  However, it does keep the grass green in this Emerald Isle.

 

I was surprised to hear that Bernard is your father.  I do hope I can help him to locate the Ward family.  When I get a chance I will also look into your case again and see if I can find anything more.  Do let me know if you find any clues that might help.

 

Best wishes

Marian
