Thank you for doing the lookup for me. Unfortunately this is not my family.
I have found them on the 1861 census at 7 Lime St,Wigan & 1871 census at 24 Actons Ct, Wigan.
John Wright was 47 (in 1871)
Jane Wright was 46 (in 1871)
Known children are Mary, Sarah Ann (my link with this family) Ruth, William, Esther, Walter & Jane b.1870
Any further help appreciated :)

1881 census
These are the only ones that match maybe parents have died
and Esther has married John Reid. There is a death for John Wright on IGI for jan 1875 age about 60 but it is member submitted so may not be accurate. Cannot find a death for Jane.

Thanks Donna for all your help.
Any chance you can locate Ruth Wright too, an elder sister of these Wrights?
She was b. Wigan in 1851 & she was unmarried in 1870, as I have her as a witness to a marriage in that year.
:)

Can't find Ruth Wright in 1871 census or a marriage or death for her sorry. Can't find jane in 1901 unless she is a nurse in Blackpool and can't find a marriage for her either.
Just realised that you mentioned a daughter called Mary in 1861 so presume she is whom Walter and Jane are staying with in 1881 as there is a marriage of Mary Wright to William Fairhurst in 1876 in All saints Wigan so looked for her as well. Did Sarah go onto marry Richard Hart and do you have them.

Looking for info from 1901 on James Hart 30 Glass worker, John Thomas Hart 27 Draper, Albert 17 ? & Mary A. Hart 16.
Walter 26,Richard 19 & Frank 12(my grandfather)still living at home with their father.
Also looking for Richard Hart's(b.1851) brother & sisters--These are the only ones I know of Mary b.1843,James b.1849,Elizabeth b.1857
All b. Wigan parents are James & Jane Hart m.16/2/1840
