Wow - that's a complicated piece of investigation - thanks.

My Mary Wright married Daniel Magrath in Wath Upon Dearne in 1 Mar 1829 both aged 21 (it says) - witnessed by John Wright.  They had a baby Mary Scamadine Magrath baptised 12 Jul 1832 in Leamington, Warwick, England.

You seem to have more info about Mary’s parents – in that their names are definitely John Wright and Mary.  Can I ask where you've picked that up from?

I'm imagining the Scamadine link comes from Marys daughters middle name, but again - is their more that you have seen?

For me Mary Wright was meant to be 21 in 1829 at her marriage, and a 1792 birth/baptism would have made her 37 at her marriage - which seems a big gap?  The 1799 birth/baptism is closer, but still a stretch (30 vs 21).

Its tricky doing this forensic work over a chat, but great to share info.  Thanks

Regards

Wow - many thanks.

And yes that fits with John Wright being a witness at the marriage.  The marriage certificate says she would have been born in 1808, but then her death notice in Tasmania suggests she would have been born in 1793, so its hard to know what's right and wrong.  Any other links that make you think that this is the Mary Wright that worked for Colonel O'Halloran in Old Milverton and married Daniel Magrath in 1829?

Its such a challenge trying to pull all the pieces together from >200 years ago.

Regards Jeff

Hi Trica,
I'm searching for the origins of Daniel Magrath and/or Mary Wright.  I'm a Magrath myself.  Found plenty on Daniel's convict past, but nothing on his or Mary's origins.  You're about 10 years ahead of me.  Did you have any luck?
