[rebelsher]

Hi everyone- Could someone please check the 1895, 1900, 1903 Queensland Electoral Rolls for Robert James Wright?  Any info on him in these would be appreciated.

I know that Worldvitalrecords.com has all three rolls if anyone belongs or can check somewhere else.

Thanks so much,

             Sherry H.

Dear Sherry,
Robert James Wright is listed multiple times in the electoral rolls.....can you tell us who he was married to so we can make sure we have the right Wright  ....also if you know his parents name as in one of the early rolls there is a family of Wrights listed.

Cheers
Susie

Hi Susie - I believe Robert James Wright came from Ireland by himself, perhaps around 1880. I don't know when or where he arrived.

He was living with a Mary Johns Angwin/Wright. I don't believe they were married, but she had his son in 1886, also named Robert James. I know he was in the Innisfail area in 1903. I have nothing earlier, except birth of his son in Toowooba, 1886.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi again, Susie- I forgot to mention that Robert James Wright was born about 1849. I've never found where he came into Australia from Ireland, or exactly when.

Mary Johns Angwin's father was John Angwin. He might be listed too.

Dear Sherry,
In 1913
Thuringowa/ Division of Herbert
Wright, Robert James
Black River, Ingham Railway, Labourer

1919
Townsville/Division of Hebert
Wright, Robert James
Garbutt's Siding, Gardener

also.....not sure if this is son?

1936
Townsville/ Division of Herbert
Swansons Flats, Ninth Street
Wright, Robert James, Blacksmith

There are several other mentions of Robert James Wright but they appear from my initial look as a family and they lived in the Darling Downs area.

Dear Sherry,
Mea culpa......I should have looked more closely at the dates.....my only excuse it is a bit early on a Saturday morning!

Maybe another Rootschatter has access to these earlier records.

Cheers

No problem, Souixsie. I totally understand. I'm collapsing after taking down ALL my christmas decorations. Hubby complains I have too much. There'll never be tooooo much. LOL
