Might have been better to nudge up your previous thread and alter the heading to read that help was still needed otherwise members will go over the same information that was provided before.

Sheena, you seemed to have missed off Thomas there and did you note that the mother and the eldest daughter are shown as paralysed? The mothers entry says paralysed from child (I firstly thought that would add birth! but nope - so Im not sure how bad the disability was - may be polio?)

1891:

Arthur Wright 10/12
Eliza Wright 17
Ellen Wright 39
Francis Wright 10/12
James Wright 12
Thomas Wright 7


Ellen is shown as a widow and from the ages of the kids I reckon she must have been married previously - possibly she maried Mr Wright between Thomas and the twins? Though equally possibly she may have lost one or more kids from sickness. If the kids are 10 months old - so born February 1890ish - then dad George must have been round within 9 months before then. So that would give you a time frame to look for his death.

Sheena, did you find a birth reg for the twin? I mean Im just wondering if they were both just registered as "Male" Wright?

What is dads job shown as on the marriage cert?

Theres big gaps there between the kids.

Arthur Michael Wright b.1890 Islington, London

Now you would of thought with him being a twin, that it would be so easy.. uh uh.

Twin was Francis Wright b1890 d.1891 after the census, as both are listed in 1891 as being 10 months old!

Arthur died in 1955 in Chatham, Kent and inbetween married Eliza Ambrose in 1924 and fathered 4 children, one of which is my dad!

The problem I'm facing is that I cannot track anyone from the family pre 1891.
Marraige cert states George Wright as he's father, and 1891 census says that Ellen Wright (b.1852c)was he's mother. So thought I would try to get he's birth cert and try again with what I get from there.

Other children in the 1891 census:
Eliza Wright b.1874c Marylebone
James Wright b.1879c Islington
and the twins.

I have tried searching for the children and Ellen who was also born in Marylebone, without success!

Help!
