One of their sons- Robert Wright (born 1883) had married a Charlotte McDowell and they had 4 children- Beatrice, Olive, Charlotte and Arthur.

Marriage in 1915. Both from the townland of Gurteenorna.

One of the witnesses was Charlotte's sister Della.

Births of the first three children. Beatrice's record links incorrectly but it has been reported.

Many thanks again, it would seem then that by 1911 Letitia was a widow and residing also in Gorteenorna with her 28 year old son who was recorded as being a Farmer. Presumably the Wrights would have known the McDowells as it seems to be a small local population and perhaps Robert and Charlotte’s daughter also a Charlotte may be the family member I have been told of.

Hello I am trying to trace descendants of the Wright family from Creenagh.

My Great Grandmother was an Ann Wright born circa 1862 into a farming family in Creenagh.

Ann had at least two siblings, a sister Emily and also brother William who married a Sarah Twaddle. I believe that William and Sarah had four children Leslie, Griffith, Charlotte and another daughter. From the scant else I know Charlotte may possibly have married a Pembrokeshire farmer and moved to West Wales.

Hoping that I can find out more as the William and Sarah mentioned in this thread it would seem are directly related to my Great Grandmother Ann Wright.

Many thanks,

MarthaA
