Hi Allan and welcome to rootschat!
I hope you manage to find some family connections via this site.
If you have any specific questions regarding any of your ancestors, ask away on the appropriate board. I've recently been contacted by a couple of distant relatives who've found our common ancestor's names via a google search - all because I'd mentioned them on rootschat.
If you go to the top of any page on rootschat there is a bar along the top - under "surnames", you can add your names - and check to see if you may have connections with other rootschatters.
Hope you enjoy rootschat and good luck with your research.

Allan Welcome to rootschat.
Agree with Ruskie about putting names on the Surnames Interests Board... makes it easy for people to seach and get in touch. It's a good way to go.

Hello Achilles, I have Wright in my family. A James Wright was my great grandfather.He lived in Pinchbeck for a time and married a Pinchbeck girl -Eliza Cole. They moved to Nottingham for a time
and my grandfather was born at Norwell. James was dead by 1881 as his wife is described as "widow"living at Alverthorpe Yorks . James` parents were Henry (49 or 69, badly transcribed )a farmer and Jane36 in the 1841 census at Walcot .Henry Wright was dead by the 1851 census. James was born at Walcot. He was a wheelwright. He and Eliza had a son Henry and a daughter Rebecca. Eliza re-married and her son Henry took his step-father`s surname, but Rebecca kept Wright for some things but used her step-father`s name for others. I am descended from Henry ,James Wright`s son. If thre is any connection I should be pleased to hear from you. Viktoria.

Hi there,
I have been doing a lot of research on the Wrights from Freiston/Linwood/Leverton and would be happy to share any info if your branch of the family is the same as mine
-
Thankyou, to date I have not made any connection further afield than around Spalding but I have not explored the Wright family further back than1841. I will when I have sorted out the Coles and Cordleys. I thought I had nearly finished but then something of interest crops up and the circles expand.
I will be in contact when I have any news, thank you again,it is very generous. Kind regards. Viktoria

Hi Alan, I'm Pam. My family came from Boston/Wrangle Lincolnshire. My great grandfather was JOSEPH HORTON B 1838 and his father was ROBERT, they were both bricklayers. I have had trouble searching for Robert and was hoping you might have been luckier than me!!!.

Pam

Hi Pam,
The only surname HORTON in my ancestors date back to the early 1700s and are not from Lincolnshire. I had a look on the International Genealogy Index (Church of JC Latter Day Saints) website and found the following results from the 1881 British census: Joseph HORTON born Wigston, Leicester approx. 1839, wife Elizabeth born approx. 1865 at Plumstead, Kent, and children Elizabeth (b.1865), Samuel (1871). Catherine (1872) & Isaac (1879). Is this your family? I also found a Robert HORTON b. abt. 1818 at Aylesby in Lincoln (a labourer) married to Elizabeth b. abt. 1817 at Clixby, Lincoln. But can't find where this Robert & Elizabeth had a son Joseph. This probably confuses more than helps.
Cheers,
Allan

Thanks for that Allan, yes that is my family but just can't tie Joseph with any Robert but will keep trying.

Pam
