Nottinghamshire / Re: Looking for the right Elizabeth Wright c1770 Please
« on: Tuesday 22 July 25 11:13 BST (UK)  »
I'm starting to think that Elizabeth Wright (b1770), the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth is in fact my Elizabeth.
With reference to the marriage register of William Flinders and Elizabeth Wright, William had a younger brother Samuel who could be the witness mentioned by jonwarrn. Also William and Elizabeths first born in 1790 did indeed die in 1856, their son Benjamin die in 1814.

I had a look at the will of Thomas Wright the banker and when he made it in 1790 he only had four surviving children: Ichabod, Harriett, John Smith and Thomas. That then eliminates his second Elizabeth (b1772) as William Flinders wife.
Back to the original question, who was Elizabeth Wright?

Thanks for all your replies.
William Flinders was born and baptised in Sneinton in 1768 and died there in 1850. It seems he spent his whole life there except to get married at St Mary's Nottingham.
Elizabeth Wright died in Sneinton in 1847.
They had ten kids:
Edward 1790-1856
George 1792-1838 (my ancestor)
Mary Ann 1794-1809
William 1796-1800
John 1799-1800
William 1801-1880
Benjamin 1803-1814
Elizabeth 1805-1806
Henry 1807-1877 (Henry married three times the first to Anne Hyde Parrot about whom I know nothing then twice in Lyon)
Alfred 1809-1881 (Alfred and Henry, both lace makers like their father, migrated to Lyon and Alfred married once).

Looking at the Thomas Wright and Mary Smith family I found the following baptisms carried out at the Castle Gate Independent Chapel:
Ichabod 1767
Elizabeth 1769
John 1770
Harriett 1771
Elizabeth 1772 (this is the Elizabeth who could have married William Flinders - but I have my doubts. On the marriage register for William and Elizabeth in 1790 he has a lovely signature and Elizabeth had a mark. I'm thinking that if she was from that prominent family she would most likely have been literate)
John Smith & Thomas (twins) 1773
George 1775

Not sure where that leaves me in my quest but thanks anyway for all your input

My 4xgreat-grandparents are William Flinders and Elizabeth Wright. William was born 1768 in Nottingham and they married in 1790 also in Nottingham. My problem is I am unable to work out which, of the many, Elizabeth Wrights born around 1770 ish actually married William.
Therefore I'm asking if anyone more familiar with Nottingham research can point me in the right direction please.
I have come across some trees on various sites that seem keen to attach Elizabeth to Thomas Wright and Mary Smith, Thomas son of Ichabod Wright and Elizabeth Wildbore. Although it would be nice to have a famous family in my tree I do need to get it right.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies. The Samuel you have dying in 1680 was born in 1669 and was a son of Samuel and Maria.

Rutland / Samuel Popple of Wing
« on: Friday 16 May 25 12:18 BST (UK)  »
I have a Samuel Popple who had 9 children with Maria Wilkinson all baptised in Wing, the first was Elizabeth in 1665. Problem is I can't find the marriage of Samuel and Maria nor any baptism that may be Samuel. I have however found three Mary Wilkinsons that could be possible given the relative closeness to Wing. Mary bap 1638 Langtoft, Linc's, Mary bap 1645 Melton and Mary bap 1639 Bulwick, Northants.
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to hopefully solve these problems please.

Thank you
Bob
