Hi Lisa, I wonder if he is the George Wright aged 7 occ Cordwainer b Bethnal Green on the 1851 Census, he has a brother Samuel aged 4 both shown as orphans, living with James and Margaret Walden in Stepney. Census Ref HO107/1544/240/45

Keyboard86

Hi, I'm not sure, it may be him. I know George had 9 children with Ann Embleton, one of which was called Robert Samuel, so this may be a possibility if his brother was Samuel.

Many thanks,
Lisa.

Hi,

I'm looking for help tracing my great great grandfather who may have been born in Bethnal Green/Shoreditch. I know he married Ann Embleton in 1873 in Northumberland and lived there until his death. For his marriage, and in the following years' census records (and births of their children) he is called George Edward Albert Wright b.abt 1846 in Bethnal Green. I am having real trouble finding a record of his birth. The only similar birth I can find is that of a George Edmund Albert Wright b.1843, baptised Shoreditch, London. Can anyone connect the two for me? I would like to know if they are one and the same person and if Edward/Edmund has become muddled along the way. The furthest back I have found him is 1871 living in Northumberland with the Morton family, aged 25, a shoemaker. I cannot find him any further back than this. Any help with his parents names would be much appreciated too, especially his mother's maiden name and if he had any siblings.

Many thanks in advance,

Lisa.

Hi Lisa

Sorry it's taken a day to get back to you but I wasn't at all successful yesterday looking for your William and Edith.

There were not records in Chevington church so I'm wondering whether they would also have been Methodists.

Alas, the Broomhill Methodist records at Woodhorn end in 1904 and the Amble ones start in 1911.   :-\

Any thoughts Janis on where else they could be if Methodists?

Christine

Hi Christine,

Thanks for checking that for me. It's been a while since I've been able to get on here so I've only just seen your post. I think that they were Methodists as my father and his sister (children of Edith Mary b.1909) were baptised in the Methodist church also.

Many thanks,

Lisa.

I found a few baptisms for you in the Amble Primitive Methodist Church

Edward Griffiths born 15 Dec 1911  and baptised 15 Feb 1912 s/o John Henry and Edith Mary

Henry Griffiths born 9 Dec 1913 and baptised 15 Jan 1914 s/o John Henry and Edith Mary

address for both:  36 Hartside Terrance, Chevington Drift, Miner

Also having children baptised with the last name of Griffiths--Thomas & Emily, Jonh & Sarah, Henry & Mary Jane.

Janis

Hi Janis,

That's excellent thanks. With the other children does it not list who their parents were? I know they definitely had a William, Edith Mary b.1909, Edward b.1911, Henry b.1913 d.1918, Thomas b.1916, Lizzie b.1918, Alice b.1921 and John Henry b.1924 (his father John Henry died that year just before Edith gave birth to John) The Ed Griffiths you found mentioned above owned a cafe in Amble and their father John Henry is rumoured to have drowned in Amble in 1924.

Kind regards,

Lisa.

Hi Matilda,

Thanks for looking that up for me. The Family Search site is great, really useful for finding things. They are updating it all the time too.

Regards,

Lisa.

Hi Lisa

I'm wondering whether it might be worth having a look at the church records from around that time.

If you like I'll have a quick look at Chevington on Wednesday - see if anyone is there.  If not they may be in Amble or Alnwick.

Christine



Hi Christine,

That would be brilliant if you don't mind thanks. I've been given some info on the other side of my dad's family (Wright's from the same area as the Griffith's) just tonight and I found that some of them are buried in Chevington too. I'll have to take a trip up there some time and see if I can find where there are buried.

Kind regards,

Lisa.

Hi Barbara,

Chevington was a mining area, yes, there were many coal miners in my family. It's interesting that you say about New Ollerton so there may possibly be a link there. Is the Beech (Bank) area still there today? I know the miner's houses in Chevington where my great grandparents may have lived were demolished around the 1980s.

Regards,

Lisa.

If Cissy = Edith and, from the 1901,  born circa 1886, London,  then:

Birth Dec q, 1885, Edmonton 3a 365

Edith Mary Mole

Hi Gnu,

Many thanks for looking that up for me. I couldn't find any suitable Edith Mary's around that time either so maybe if she was nicknamed Cissy then this may be her. This is really helpful, thanks!

Kind regards,

Lisa.
