Lindylu, Not sure if this last post is my relation. The names look familiar but I thought Mary was born in about 1840s in Ireland and then she married a Wright. Any idea about getting in fo from Ireland as to where they came from and why they moved? Thanks

Is this the marriage you are talking about?

I doubt that LindyLu is still on GR. 11 years is a long time to wait to reply

Thank you for all the research. Dea seems to have found mary in Congleton but still not sure where Mary's family came from and why she came over from Ireland to Cheshire.

Christine, check ArgyllGran's post of 28 Feb 2019 she has given you what looks to be Mary's baptism record.
It gives you her parents names and place of baptism, also that of her sisters.

Don't forget that the names on Irish baptism records are given in Latin so will differ from the anglican version.

ie:- John would be noted as Johanis
Bridget would be noted as Brigidae etc.

As to why she came over with her family, that's anyones guess. The most frequent reason was to look for work but who knows?


Ages are a bit out but, possible death of her father John
