Looking for help to confirm a date of death for Susannah Wright (b.1850)

Thank you Rosie99, Jolee and Ladyhawk.

I have the information that you all latterly highlighted and that's definitely Susannah.

Thank you.

Yes, it's possible that she may have married in the end.

I know that the father of the five children died suddenly in 1900, so Susannah could have married someone else in 1901.

Are you happy that the marriage to Henry Walters is your Susannah 

Who was the father of the children who died in 1901 (Just curious  )

Well when Lucy marries she claims her father is Abel Wright, deceased, valet

I can see an Abel Wright who died in Kingston Surrey in 1901 but he was married and a Carpenter

Give both Kate and Lucy have the middle name Gilmore, that may be suggestive of something

Hi,

Yes, the marriage to Henry Walters seems credible, all things considered.

As far as I know at the moment, the children all had the same father. He wasn't a married man during the time of the relationship, as one might have expected. I know that he was born abroad in Europe in 1841, but lived in Merton, Surrey, when Susannah met him. He was a wealthy, middle class, professional man who had been bought up with servants etc. and who employed servants when he was living as a single adult in Surrey, so he was from a different social sphere. I don't think that his parents / family would probably have approved of a marriage to a working class woman who would have been seen as a member of the 'servant class', so Susannah and the children were a sort of secret, albeit a fairly open secret in some ways. This seems to be the explanation. His name wasn't Abel Wright, but I have also seen another document which refers to one of Susannah's sons, in which the father is named as having the surname Wright and Susannah is referred to as married with her maiden name given as Smith. All this is 'smoke and mirrors' I think, to make things seem socially acceptable.   

Thanks again.

There is a Susannah Wright whose death is registered December quarter 1939 Surrey N E ref 2a page 118.  Her age is 85 born 1854.
Might be  worth a look. It could be checked on the 1939 registration

1881 census she is living with Edward Duke and his wife Sarah A (nee Wright) in Thames Ditton Surrey with son Otto H age 6 and William age 8 months.

When Otto Herlick Wright marries 1899 he says his father is Otto Herlick Wright.

Added his birth was registered Kingston Surrey 1874

[Mabel Bagshawe]

At a wild guess - 1881, 1 Dorset Rd, Merton

Otto Herrlich    40 - commission merchant, b Prussia
Franz Heyer    43
Mary A. Sheppard    35

he appears to have a wife in 1891 and a 1 yr old

Disappears from electoral registers c1897, but no death obvious. His wife is a widow in 1901
