Find Ancestors

I think I've found the rest of the childrens birth records on the regimental birth indices.

Elizabeth Wright Bermuda 1869 RA 454 136
Emanuel Wright Gibraltar 1861 RA 454 136
George Wright Gibraltar 1864 RA 454 136
James Wright Gibraltar 1866 RA 454 136
John Wright Gibraltar 1858 RA 454 136
Mary L Wright Aldershot 1876 RA 454 136
Rebecca A Wright Woolwich 1871 RA 454 136

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.

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!!

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?
Carole

hi carole,ive checked to see if anyone else is doing this line and havent found anyone yet..it would have to be one of the younger one i suppose if im going to order another cert.maybe the younger 3 were just james kids.jo

.lulabelle,if your out there,on page 3 you said the ellen i found married to a william in the 1901 census,was also on the 1881 census,so its not the right one,is that because they wernt in the country?as im not sure when they came back here.as the cert i ordered for the young ellen seems to be incorrect.thanks jo

as the cert is written quite badly,it could be bernett or bennett.also the p in paxton or paxtow could be an s.jo

Hi Carole here in Gibraltar. I have tracked down the man who keeps the records of the Methodist church in Gib. I am contacting him by e-mail tomorrow (got the address from his wife) I might get some info for you.

Hi Carole,

These 'Wrights' wouldn't be any relation to Elizabeth Wright b.1812 who married William Peirpoint would they?
As you know we share our Sharrock tree and the Pierpoints are tied up with the Sharrocks.
Cheers!

Hi Paul
I am only looking at Wright for the original enquirer. As I live in Gibraltar I have access to the written word. So to your question I don't have an answer.
Why don't you try contacting the Joanne, she may know?
Hope all is well with you.
Regards, Carole

anybody free to help out a bit please.thanks jo

Hi there. If you remember I looked at this before with you. I cannot see that any of the family stayed in Gibraltar. What makes you think that they did?
