Wright Family History.

[corinthian]

Hi,

Am looking for info on the children of Joseph Wright (c1770),a gent & Schoolmaster & Theodosia Gillio (1772-1821). I have traced Joseph born 1797,Marion Johnson (b1799 & married James Dupree),George born 1801,Joseph Ferdinando born 1805 & Amelia born 1814 all in Westminster,London. There is quite a big gap between Joseph & Amelia so perhaps there were other children born from 1806-1813?. Have managed to find out a bit about Joseph Ferdinando Wright & Marion Johnson Wright but nothing about the others due to the name being so common.

Regards

There's a Charlotte Eliza b13 Jul 1807, bap 19 Jul 1807 d of Joseph and Theodosia Wright

and

Wm Henry b14 Aug 1812, bap 27 Aug 1812 s of Joseph and Theodosia Wright

Both baptisms were at St James Clerkenwell.

Two more baptisms -

Amelia,  bapt 28 Apr 1814 d of Joseph and Theodosia Wright (Gent) of Pear Tree Court. St James Clerkenwell

The second one - the image is not great but I think it may be for Joseph Ferdinando. He was baptised at St James Piccadilly 28 Oct 1822 and for date of birth there is a note which states "said to be born March, year 1805 or 1815 (it's not clear) Father's occ. is also unclear but says Clerk in p ----- ? office.

Hi,

Unfortunately I no longer have access to that particular site.

When I looked previously I thought Joseph Ferdinando's DOB on his baptism records was 19/03/1805. His date of baptism was 28/10/1817,aged,I think, 17. He married Martha Smith on the 19/05/1834,making him either 19 or 29 at the time of his marriage. I'm not 100% sure which DOB is correct but his wife Martha was born in 1812 so 1805 is more likely.

Hi Coreen,

Can I just ask.... 

I've been researching a friend's family and had one line back to Theodosia Martha Wright, 1841-1921, daughter of Joseph and Martha and had seen the marriage of Joseph Ferdinando Wright and Martha Elizabeth Smith but wasn't convinced they were TMW's parents, if only because 'Ferdinando' didn't seem to fit in with his descendants. Now I've read this forum and seen that the parents' DoBs match those I had from the 1841 census, and also the connection with grandparents' names, it looks as though it does all fit together.

So have I got it right? Theodosia Martha Wright is Joseph Ferdinando Wright's daughter, Theodosia Gillio's grand-daughter, and Edward Walter Lambert's wife.

Many thanks,
James.

Hi James,

Yes from everything I have looked at over the last few years that is the case,Theodosia Martha Wright (1841-1921) was the daughter of Joseph & Martha & Edward Lambert's wife.
I have tried,unsuccessfully,to trace a B/C for any of the four children of Joseph Ferdinando Wright & Martha Elizabeth Smith,although I have traced their baptism records via the Ancestry.co website. I have also traced Joseph's own baptism records on the same website &, although the record on Ancestry is recorded as Joseph Frederick,the image is clearly transcribed as Joseph Ferdinando.  One of Joseph's grandsons was also named Joseph Ferdinand(o?).  Joseph's (1805-1844) own parents were indeed Joseph Wright (c1770-?) & Theodosia Gillio (1772-1821) & they were married 20/12/1796 in Margate,Kent. He was recorded as a gent,a schoolmaster & clerk at various times. I have been unable to go back further than this Joseph on the Wright family tree.
Theodosia Gillio had at least four siblings on which I have some limited info. I do have quite a lot of info about her brother George William Gillio (1775-1815), who worked for the East India Company. Theodosia & George William Gillio's parents were another Joseph Gillio,(c1743-1791) & an Amelia (1744-1813). I have not been able to trace Amelia's maiden name.Joseph was a surgeon. This is as far back as I have managed to go at this point.

If you would like any further info please let me know.

Edward Walter Lambert & Theodosia Wright are my 2 x grt-grandparents. How is your friend connected to them?     

Regards

Coreen.
