Find Ancestors

Jo I have just trawled the Gib records on line. No Pax...of any kind.A few Bennets but not Ellen.
How about ordering another cert. to see if it gives the same info.
Have you not found another person's tree with any of the family on it?

Actually I've had another look at 1881 census. Ellen does appear as aged six born Sheffield so maybe it is the correct one. Curiouser and curiouser said Alice!!

Looks like the wrong one to me Jo. I hope to get in to Gib soon and look again, this time at the Methodist Records.Trouble is the border is so busy that it takes ages to get in by car so you have to pick the best time.
The services had reps. from all religions on the Rock so maybe we will get lucky.

How about this one?

Births Mar 1874 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wright Ellen Sheffield 9c 520

well, ive looked through the births for ellen1874 and there are so many ,im not sure where she was born ,the only district that rang a bell was w.derby8b 486 .whats the best way to be sure .ill try to find out where ellen1843 was in 1874.actually i have a note of ellen 1874 being born in sheffield,but on that same cencus some of the older ones had uk births as well, so theres a mistake[maybe deliberate]. somewhere.

hi lou thanks for that.how odd that the one i was looking at was from gibraltar as well.ill get one of the certs of the younger ones.thanks again

Hi Joanne,

The marriage I found would be Ellen senior re-marrying to a Thomas Laws.
If I was you I would send off for the birth certificate for one of the children born in England to get Ellens maiden name.

That William and Ellen you found on the 1901 census are also on the 1881 census, so that would not be the same Ellen as yours.

Lou

to add to the confusion.looking at some cencus records.1901cencus
william wright age 61 born ireland,in the army
ellen wright 59 gibraltar
james wright 22 hounslow
rose wright 19
mary 16
353 east india rd borough of bromley
does anyone think she would of married again and continued to have kids.or maybe william and james[1833] are brothers.
or not even the same ellen,what do you think??????????

hi all ive just been going over my threads to see if ive missed anything as i dont seem to be getting anywhere,and im a bit confused a bout this bit,its proberly obvious,but: i cant see the woods for the trees,!

page 2 of threads, marrige dec 1890 thomas laws an ellen wright,walsingham 4b 818.

was this the daughter ellen[1864]?
or ellen[1843] re-marrying??

i thought laws was ellens [1843] maiden nam

can anyone see any sence in it?

thanks.

Hi Joanne
Thanks, we had a good time. I may not have time this week to look but I will diary this and see what I can do.
Carole

thanks for your help before.hope you break was good.

ive no idea,but it was proberly a service wedding[royal artilery].have a great holiday.thanks again jo

Hi Joanne
I went this morning but couldn't find the marriage in the registers at Kings Chapel. That is the Anglican Chruch. Do you know if either James or Ellen were Catholic or Methodist? If so I might be able to try them but that won't be for a few weeks as I am away on holiday from Friday till the end of the month.

that would be fantastic! id welcome any gibraltar info,thanks alot.jo
