Need help with filling in gaps in the Wrights Family Tree...

[shyster2008]

Good advice KGarrad.

I just wonder how far you have got with grandma's family tree in order to look for someone in 1770. You were given information previously about William And Ann Wright and the Turners.
Did you manage to sort that?

Hi Heywood...

Got William and Ann Wright AND the Turners all sorted, thank you.

Will have to see what I can get from the Doncaster Archives....

I have reams of information on Bridon..Buy out of Wrights Ropes Ltd and also about Rollason...
Directors, Secretaries etc. etc. but that Information was in 1999....Does not get me back to the 1770!!!!

The gap I have is prior to William and Ann Wright....Would like to find Williams` Parents....Ann Wright nee Turner I have Parents and Siblings....It is William who is the problem...

Just had a thought....

I think it was Kgarrard who mentioned the 150th Anniversary of Wrights Ropes Ltd.....

That might throw some more light on the matter if I could find Info on this !!!!!

Brian,

You'll get nothing until you get permission from Bridon!
Doncaster Archives have an access restriction on all the Bridon papers.

So, ask them first!

Hi again,

Think you may like this

  The business was founded in 1770 by William Wright of Dartmouth Street, and continued first by his son William and then his daughter-in-law Ann, and in 1846 by his grandsons John and Edwin. They were the patentees and brought the firm to its later size.

Lots of info on there,

claire

Apologies if I seem not to understand. If you have William and Ann and the Turners sorted, do they fit into your grandma's family tree?
Are you now just looking for the parents of the founder?
Would it be easier to post re William and his parents?

Heywood

[KGarrad]

So, you had this information all the time?!

Founded by William Wright.
Continued by his son William, then his daughter-in-law, Ann.
Then by his grandsons, John & Edwin.

I am now very confused!

[heywood]

That's what I don't understand so am asking for some clarity re grandmother's tree and the Wrights and the Turners connection.

Hi Kgarrad..

Sorry for the delay in replying....

I am very confused also...
 
Take a look at the timespan between the Founder and his son and then his Grandsons......There seems to be something missing or am I getting it wrong??

William Wright founded the Co. in 1770 so lets presume he was 25 OK?..So we have not established his birthdate so we say 1755.....Now look at his son...He must have been at least 50 when his son was born....It does not gel....Savvy???

I looked at the Archives and it states, as you said, that William passed the company to his son and then to his Grandsons via......We know all that...

It still does not gel for me....Need more research...

Hi Heywood.

Sorry for the delay....

Seems I have a possible link in the chain and it does not go back to the 1770s...
 
Got some information yesterday that suggests that my grandmas sister was involved with the wrights in 1926!!!!

Still looking at records so I will not know until later....Sisters name was Annie for your Information OK?

Also have a look at what I have just Posted to Kgarrad....You might be able to help there also..

Regards

Brian.

Which you can get by contacting Bidon in the first instant!
Ask them what they know, and ask for permission to look at the archived papers.
QED


I won't waste my time detailing census returns (which you probably already have), but the family are here in 1841:
Class:  HO107; Piece:  1149; Book:  4; Folio:  29; Page:  15

Ann 35
William 16
John 14
Edwin 12

So, Ann born between 1802-1806.
Her husband William could be up to 20 years older (or more! ), so he might have been born in 1780's or 1790's.
Which would make William senior aged about 30-40 at a guess?
Perfectly reasonable!
