I'm looking for any info regarding Elizabeth Wright, my 2xgr grandmother. All I know is that she was born around 1821 Ilford & was married to Thomas Harwood. Thomas was born 1817 in Witham.
Thanks
Linda

It certainly fits him doesn't it, wonder why he moved to Staffordshire
Linda
ps I noticed you have Coveneys in Kent in your tree, do you by any chance have Samuel born 1765 Stockbury?
He is my 3x gr grandfather

Hi Linda
No mine all came from Kent
Have you worked backwards on the Harwood family?
Louisa Maud
-
Yes I have through Familysearch, but I'm not too sure how accurate it is. I think I have Thomas' father also Thomas ,& grandfather Jonathan.
Ps I should have said Stockbury is in Kent

Hello again
Most of mine come from Ramsgate and surrounding areas and then moved to London about 1900

Noted your 'Wright" enquiry and this is a long shot.
I have a John Wright b. abt 1801 Hadleigh, Suffolk married to Tamer (?) b. abt 1811 in Gt. Wakering, Essex.
They lived Southchurch, Essex at least by 1832 when I have the birth of 1st (?) child George. the others were Eliza b. 1833, Ellen/Eleanor b. 1835, Susan/Sussanah b. abt 1838, William 1841, Jane 1843, Henry 1848, and Joseph 1850.
Tamer died in 1852, at home in Southchurch. No maiden name on death cert.
John was a farmer employing one person in 1851 Census. Believe some members of family may have been watermen.
Daughter Ellen married next door neighbour James Little in 1858 and emigrated to Victoria, Australia.
Have some info on our 'Little' Gt Gt Grandparents but have come up against a brickwall with the other Gt Gt Grandparents John Wright and wife Tamer.
Hoping someone will have the family on their tree or have an idea to help.

Hi,
Sorry I can't help you at all as I haven't been able to find out anything about my Elizabeth Wright or her family so far apart from her fathers name - William.

Thanks for answering
Looks like the Wrights are great a keeping under the radar!
