Family History Beginners Board / Re: William Wright
« on: Thursday 22 July 10 18:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi! Nel,    ;D You have the right family!, the name confusion  on John/James, is because our chap the baker is really John James, but his Father John, is with them alot, so I think they changed the names around, and call the son James -at times.  All the information I have from Malta he called John. 
George, I think must have been John James's brother, as John has a son,George,(1839) who is also with them in Malta. He marries an Elizabeth Parks, but infortuatly she dies out there and he remarried a Frances Wells. He is a 'Writer' in the dockyard.  I also have a William Nibbs, living in Malta in 1854, don't know where he comes in yet!!
The John Nibbs you have in 1851, is John (Sen), I havn't bothered to go further with them at the moment, as I have been struggleing with William Wright!!
Thanks for the Lockyer information - I thought it was probably something like that, but that was to be 'looked into'!! It may be they were not actually married :-\ ?- that would account of Louisa just useing her mothers name!
My picture is getting clearer all the time!! Thanks again.Cheers Chris

Hi! Nell, Yes, I'd like to find the parents of William, to get back further if possible!!.  Louisa Allen was a minor  when married 13.12.1837 in Malta, as had to have the consent of her Guardian. She was the daughter of a Louis Barber Allen, - but she may not have come from Hampshire. But, I too had found  Thomas and Patience, but they don't use these names as family names, so I am not happy with that.
Going to Louisa Nibbs.  On the Maltese records I have, it says she is a daughter of John and Anne Nibbs, but on her birth record she is recorded as Louisa Lockyer, and futher up the family (more recent) other members of the family,   call themselves-Nibbs- Lockyer??  Rosina Nibbs& Emma, sisters of louisa,  found on  the 1841 census are married out in Malta also.The family are recorded as being there in 1852, 1854, and 1856.But John is back in England in 1881 and dies in 1885.
I feel quite possitive about the William and Jane Wright, possibly Williams parents.It fits - age and place !! ;)
Thanks for all your help. I shall investigate further at 'Kew' - intriguing!! :D

Thanks Nell,  The paper I saw, was handwritten, a bit like the census, but not quite the same.   It was there I saw he was a victullar, on my ancestors wedding certificate, he was down as a publican(same sort of thing?) Others on the page also had their profession, was quite feint in places, and a job to see. The 1841 census gives very little information on professions, -this I thought looked more like naval information??  It was quite a few years ago now, and I thought I would be able to find it again, so didn't bother to take down any details!!That will teach me!! :(  I am off to 'kew' next week hopeing to find out more about the Malta papers, so that might give me more of a clue.  I would just like to know, where he was born - if I can make the connection??
Thanks again, Chris

William was a vituller for the navy -one of  his sons, married the daughter of a 'Master Baker'  for the Navy, this family I know comes from Alverstoke in Hampshire. I have them on census. But I am sure I have also seen some sort of census, prior to William going to Malta,in about 1830?  The Baker also goes and stays in Malta,with some of his family but returns home,later to Gosport.  The 'sheet' had them living very near to each other, with other navy families? :)

  Pigots Register Hampshire   

~~~~~~~~
Please could somebody please help me with a 'look up'. ;)I have just about given up looking for my Ancester William Wright, probably born about 1810.  He was a victular to the navy, and says in the records of his marrigae to his wife Louisa Allen, in 1834 Malta, that he comes from Alverstoke, Gosport, but I cannot find any  trace. His son, Charles Henry Wright (1843 )marries a Louisa Nibbs in Malta,she has parents that DO come from Alverstoke,a John Nibbs, who is a Master Baker, also for the Navy.The family all stayed in Malta, exceept for a son.  I am sure, a long time ago, I have seen a register of sort of census, possibly for the dockyard with both of these families on the same sheet??? or was it Pigots Register!  Could some one please put me out of my misery!!!!
