Title: Leslie family and Wright family of Co Longford
Post by: FLUFFY1234 on Sunday 13 March 16 19:39 GMT (UK): Margaret Leslie my great great grandmother born around 1838 in Co Longford I believe, married Robert Wright about 1855 in county Longford.
As far as I know both families were Church of Ireland. I am trying to find who their parents were.
Also trying to find if either Robert or Margaret had any siblings. I don't have access to ancestry.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I’m sorry I didn’t reply earlier. You probably won’t know anything about me. I can tell you all about myself in a private message. My mother was Violet Farrell nee Heuston, her father was James and her mother Emily Murtagh. Yes the Wrights are still in Longford and I have met a few. Your name is familiar to me.
I’ll try and send a private message to you
Regards
Elizabeth
