Donkin/Wright from Campsall.

[Tomsusan]

I have just discovered  why lots of my Ancestors  had the name Donkin Wright all from Campsall,Yorkshire, My Great Grandfather X4 George Wright 1776/1840 had his children with Elizabeth Donkin and I assume never married   as I can`t find any evidence of this and here is where I need some help as I can`t find where and when she was born, I do hope someone can help with this problem thank you so much.
             Regards Tom Wright

1814 Jan 18th  Campsall Parish Records

George illegitimate son of George Wright Farmer and Elizabeth Donkin of Norton

Each child she had to George from 1802 onwards states she is from Norton and the children are illegitimate

Norton is next to Campsall

Hi Oly

    I have searched in all 3 villages Campsal/Norton/Askern and even went over to Fishlake where Thomas Wright 1684 was born to see if there were any Donkin`s there but no luck as the years go by the name Donkin has been recorded as Dunkin/Duncan .  Its looking like Elizabeth Donkin around 1776 ish and her parents are going to be lost in the mist of time.
                 Thanks Regards Tom

Thanks Oly have put in the death citation of Elizabeth Donkin/Dunkin has to be her and I an sure that more children will be found as my search goes on I can`t see them only having 2 girls and 3 boys.



Hi Lee , What a great find Elizabeth Donkin 8/5/1777 at Ferry Fryston St Andrews, had a look on google earth and as you said its very close by, now I have had a look for the citation on Family search IGI and Ancestry but cant find it  so could you please let me know which site you got it from please I have put it on my tree as a temp until I am satisfied that it is her.


Thank you so much Regards Tom

Hello you two,

An interesting joint search Lee, nice to get results and Tom is a bit further down the road.
The Donkin family are in the Harewood area 1600 on.
An Elizabeth Donkin had a child out of wedlock 15th Nov 1620 at Otley, it runs in the family Tom.

Regards Oly
