Sorry Janet I got confused earlier. If you are right William and Jane Wright are my William's b1807 grandparents so son Wright is named after his great grandmother where Jonas after his grandfather and Bridget, Robert and John are all family names. I know you have your doubts Sue in Leeds (incidentally I went to University there - a thousand years ago or so it seems) but it does fit

Found this on IGI which ties in with what Janet has found...

So, Sue in Leeds, what is your gut feel. Are we on the right track with the Rushdon Bowers or are you still sceptical?
|
I am always sceptical until all the info has been confirmed at the Records Office..
Just don't take everything as GOSPEL from Familysearch IGI until you have been as I said to the records office for Rudston which will more than likely be Hull.

Hi Sue - how do I go about this - can I write or do I need to visit. Unfortunately I live in Welwyn Garden City
