I have been researching the Wright Family for the last 2 years and have got a lot of Information about them....
What eludes me is is any Information about William Wright, the Founder of Wrights Ropes.
Can anyone help????

Hi Nanny Jan.
I have looked at the Warwickshire Records and have come up with nothing...
It may be that I need to research the Birmingham Records Office as Wrights Ropes were Established in Birmingham and, I think, that this area may come under West Midlands!!!
Any Ideas??

I can only support your idea of contacting Birmingham Records Office.

Hi Zoolane :)
I am related to a Wright family, so I read any threads about that name. Mine don't appear to be related to yours, but there was someone else on here a little while ago researching Wrights Ropes. His username was shyster2008 and he signed himself Brian.
If you click on SEARCH on the brown bar near the top of this page and enter Wrights Ropes (just that, no username or date range), you'll get links to 23 threads containing that phrase, including this thread. Click on each thread title to read the contents.
Hope you find something useful there :)
