Kaz Have you seen Margaret's post: 'Added by Margaret Manson on 20/04/2007 01:38:48 A Henry Wright married an Ann Williams, Llanelly, Carmarthenshire June quarter 1868.' Margaret Yeah, there's a few of them born in Pembrey in 1848. What a total pain!

Missed that from Margaret Maria, boy this will take some sorting out...is it possible that Ann Rookley died and Henry re-married in Wales in 1868??

yes, this addiction is sending me to bed at ridiculous hours! I suppose that's a possibility that he married twice. Giving this a bump in case anyone else can help Many thanks so far though

As the Wrights seem to have registered their younger children (David onwards) why not get the Birth cert for one of them? That will give Ann's maiden name.

Of course if it is Ann Williams, then you have to buy the marriage certificate, too, to find her father's name, because there's more than one. I can hear the cash register. Ching ching! $$$ Margaret

and if he married Ann Williams AND Ann Tookley, I'll have to get two sets of marriage certificates! This is going to cost me a fortune. It looks like he had TWO Elizabeths as well. Maybe one of them died? As for Henry himself, there's a few Henry Wright's born in Somerset around the same time, so not sure which one is him. One of them though was iving with grandparents from a very young age

Maybe I'll see if anyone's looking up deaths first

and what's more! How am I supposed to know which is the right birth cert for Henry considering two Henry's were born in Langport, Somerset one in 1848 and one in 1849)? I don't even know WHERE in Somerset he was born but Langport's looking good for around the right year
