HI,

Percy John Robinson, I thiink I have found in the 1901 Census. His wife Edith Caroline Bodfish, I think was born in 1902, I need to get the birth certificate to be sure. They are my mum's side of the family and as Bodfish is an unusual name, I was wondering if anyone else was researching this side.

The Wright's I have as far back as Henry Wright Born abt 1835 in Leamington I think, but I cannot find a death. His father is Charles, as found on notification of christening, but I cannot find Charles on Census as there is quite a few of them. I cannot track down a marriage either for Charles or for Henry wright to Ann Mullis, she was born 1834 Harbury.

John Lenton my G G Grandfather married Mary Ann Arnold in 1857, she was born in Coventry in 1839. As she married prior to the 1861 census, I am having problem tracking down the rest of the family, the same with John Lenton.

I have managed to make contact with a cousin on my paternal mother's side, she reckons that we are related to most of the Wright's in Leamington!

IF anyone else is researching Wright's or Bodfish from Leamington, it would be great to hear from them.

Is there a 1851 and 1841 census available for Leamington?

Hi Debbie   Just found Henry Wright married to Ann Mullis 30 May 1855 age 20 St Mary's Leamington Priors. I have looked on the 1851 census  it looks like he was a visitor  in Stratford-upon-Avon. Do you know who Charles married?

Hi Debbie  This could be John Lenton with his family on the 1851 census   Edward Lenton 31 head ribbon weaver born Foleshill   Mary A  36 wife ribbon weaver born Foleshill  John Lenton son 14 son coal miner born Foleshill Sarah 5 daughter born Foleshill and Hannah 5 months daughter born Foleshill   Census Address Longford Foleshill.  I will see if I can find them on the 1841 census.  Carol

Hi,

John Lenton is down as being born in Stoneleigh, Kenilworth after 1861 but his wife was born in Coventry. But we all know that they did not always tell the truth.  But I will check it out.

I do not know who charles married, I have come to a standstill there I'm afraid, but I do have the name Charlotte if I have the right christening record.

Thanks
Debbie
