Wright Family Ruabon

[MikeDavies38]

Hi Jeanette.  Good news!  Thomas was the brother of my friend John Wright's grandfather.  This means there is quite a list if names to send you and goes back to 1754.  Can I suggest that you submit a message to:-
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.britisles.wales.den.general and then I can get your e mail address and send all the details to you in an attachment.  If you do not want to do that, I will gladly put all the names on this page.  I suppose this means that John Wright is a cousin of some sort to you.

I wonder if the people in this thread are still active. 

I am researching a particular WRIGHT family from Ruabon for a couple of reasons the most important being that they are my wifes direct ancestry.

She is related through a Robert Jessie Wright who died in 1932 leaving a trust to his adopted (unofficial) son and then to his granddaughter.  This trust failed upon her death and opened up a great can of worms (my second reason for this search).  Robert at his death is listed as a coal factor of Ruabon.  His will reads that he was of Bryn Ruabon.  I have assumed (probably incorrectly) that Bryn is a house name rather than a village. 

Robert died 29th Dec 1932.

Robert Was the eldest of 9 children.  His parents were Edward Wright and Amelia nee JONES.   I believe her father was William.

Roberts siblings were, Isaac, Lemuel, Elizabeth, Edward, John, Mary Winifred (the wifes line) Sarah Jane and William Henry.

From the Will I am aware that Isaac and Lemuel predeceased Robert.  Lemuel is listed as deceased on his daughters Wedding cert in 1913 however I cannot find a death that fits this nor can the only other researcher I have found following this line.  I believe Lemuel married Elizabeth Willett however this is confused in so much as their daughter Ediths baptism is listed as Elizabeth as mum yet the 1911 census as Lemuel married to a Sarah.  Of course this could be one in the same person.

Hopefully this will trigger some information from others who may be searching this name.  Of course Wright and Jones are very very common names.

Also if anyone as any links to online directories for the turn of the century to 1914 for Ruabon then I would appreciate those as well

i think I`ve researched some of this family in the past, but can`t find the records now.
I see what you mean about Lemuel, the Chorlton one looks like a  different  family.

Even the correct family are confusing .

Robert Jessie Wright who died in 1932 leaving a trust to his adopted (unofficial) son and then to his granddaughter.  This trust failed upon her death and opened up a great can of worms (my second reason for this search).  Robert at his death is listed as a coal factor of Ruabon.  His will reads that he was of Bryn Ruabon.  I have assumed (probably incorrectly) that Bryn is a house name rather than a village.

There is nothing in the local papers about Robert Jessie Wright except for a report on an assault on him in 1907 when he was still an Insurance Superintendent.
1932 Bryn, Henry Street, Ruabon.
1921 13 Henry Street, Ruabon
1911 Henry St, Ruabon
1901 Henry Street.
Henry Street is still there, I had a friend who lived there.
