Title: mary fowler wright d abt 1829 rothwell parish yorkshire
Post by: Greaves offspring on Saturday 17 October 09 01:45 BST (UK)
The only record I have for Mary Fowler & husband Edmund James Wright is mar.  26 May 1817 at Rothwell Parish, Yorkshire.  Dau. Ann Wright b. 1818 in Rothwell parish, dau. Mary Wright (my gggran) b 22 Jan 1826 at Middleton, Yorkshire.   

Intent was to find burial record (or birth-1800?) of Mary Fowler Wright,  hoping to lead to her parents and/or his parents.  (Ed b. 1795 at Hunslet)  Rothwell Cemetery said their site wasn't open in 1829, referred me to Holy Trinity.  Inquiries there have gone unanswered.  Browsing RootsChat doesn't sound promising to find record at Holy Trinity or finding families together.  Looking for any resources!  I am in U.S., using online resources.  Appreciate any ideas.   :)

Mary Fowler Wright died in or just after childbirth abt 1829 per clues in letter by my ggran (baby burial?).  Edmund later mar. Mary Green, they are on 1841 census with my gggran.  Ed imm. to Port Hope Canada, where dau. Mary & hus. Alonzo Bartholomew Greaves were at the time and Ed died there 1856.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat,

I just googled Rothwell PRs and find that there are some on line on ancestry. :)

Rothwell Parish Registers, 1763-1812

If you post on the Yorkshire boards under lookups, someone there may be able to help you with the burials you are seeking.

Good luck,
maidmarion

maidmarion,
Thanks for your reply.  I forgot to say I have searched online in Ancestry and LDS Family search. I believe those registers are included (?) but I did not find any good leads.
I have been researching for 2 years, but never have used chat.  Just learning my way around.
Good suggestion, I will post to Yorkshire boards.

Hi, think I found this site through Rootschat, I used it for Rothwells Parish Registers but has lots of other scanned Yorkshire Parish Registers for free download. I think Rothwells were volume number 34 when I downloaded them last year.

Hope it helps,
