Trying to find out any information in relation to John Bright b 1813 in Devon England his wife Elizabeth Penney (may be spelt Penny) also b c1813 Devon, England. They married 11 Nov 1833 in Exeter, Devon, England. They had 13 children:
William c1834 Elizabeth c1836 Thomas c1837 John c1838 Richard c 1840 Edward c1842 Sarah c1843 Alice c1845 Joseph c1847 James c1849 Robert c1850 Ellen c1852 Susan Ann c1853
William & Elizabeth were both born in Exeter, Devon, England and the remaining children were all born in Westminster, England (St James).
John Bright died in 1858 and Elizabeth emigrated to Victoria, Australia with a number of her children, one being Edward Bright who married Amelia LLoyd (b c1845 England) 11 Sept 1863 in St James Westminster, England.
If anyone has any information (it does not matter how trivial) I would appreciate it, could they contact me with it.
Thanking you in anticipation Vanessa & Warren Taylor Melton, Victoria, Australia

Hi Vanessa & Warren
I am not related but did some snooping!
This looks like Elizabeth's death:
Surname: BRIGHT Given Names: Elizabeth Event: D Father: Penny Edward Mother: Emma COX Age: 69 Death Place: U Year: 1882 Reg Number: 8081
Edward & Amelia nee LLOYD had 7 children in Victoria 1865-79. 1 died in infancy, 1 aged 5 yrs and nother at 17 yrs. Let me know if you would like their names etc. Here is Edward's death:
Surname: BRIGHT Given Names: Edw Event: D Father: Bright Jno Mother: Elizth PENNY Age: 76 Death Place: Fitz N Year: 1918 Reg. Number: 1363
And Amelia's death:
Surname: BRIGHT Given Names: Amelia Father: Lloyd Samuel Mother: Unknown UNKNOWN Death Place: NCOTE Age: 91 Year: 1927 Reg Number: 11760 Event: D
There is a Richard BRIGHT b. Piccadilly who married an Elizabeth LLOYD (b. London) in Vic in 1867 (reg 1285), wonder if this was a sister of Amelia?? They had 6 chn 1868-79, 2 died young (one died at age 1 and another drowned at age 11yrs - inquest ref 130). This is Richard's death:
Surname: BRIGHT Given Names: Richard Event: D Father: John Mother: Elizabeth PENNY Age: 41 Death Place: MELB S Year: 1881 Reg Number: 5254
There was an inquest into his death; his occupation is shown as produce merchant and he died of alcohol poisoning (ref 612).
A Robert BRIGHT, b. London, m. Henrietta PAISLEY (b. Dublin) in 1879 (reg 1427). They lived in the Fitzroy area and had 3 chn 1880-5 (eldest died at 8mths and another at 5 yrs).
This is Alice's death:
Surname: BRIGHT Given Names: Alice Event: D Father: John Mother: Elizabeth PENNEY Age: 22 Birth Place: LOND Year: 1867 Reg Number: 10760
Possible marriage for Ellen, b. London, to Thos Wm PARKINSON (b. Glasgow) in 1882 (reg 5518). They lived in Fitzroy and Calrton and had 2 chn 1883-4, eldest died aged 8m.
This might be Eliz jnr's death. If so, her husband was Henry and they had 5 chn in Melb 1860-69 (2 died before age 1) and did not marry in Vic. (There is a marriage in West London that fits, Jun qu 1855, 1c 110).
Surname: WARREN Given Names: Elizth Event: D Father: Bright Jno Mother: Elizth UNKNOWN Age: 72 Death Place: Fitz N Year: 1907 Reg. Number: 1271
Do you have immigration records? It looks like Elizabeth age 51 and Ellen (12) and Robert (14) arrived aboard the Champion of the Seas in Nov 1865. Edward's wife Amelia seems to have arrived alone aboard Rockhampton in Feb 1865 aged 27 and Alice also arrived alone aged 19 aboard Yorkshire Nov 1864. Interestingly an Elizabeth LLOYD also travelled to Vic aboard Champion of the Seas, aged 24, in Nov 1865. Can't see Richard or Edward's arrival.
Hope this is helpful and there is something new here. Let me know if you would like further details of any of the grandchn's bdms.
Cheers & merry xmas
