Have been doing a bit of searching for the Wrights since it's a surname I'm interested in but unable to connect mine to any other family).

Was hoping that whenever Esther (Wright) Tipping or Jane (Wright) Morwood had children registered that the information would have been the other one- no such luck.

It looks like both Esther and Jane named eldest daughters Margaret. Thinking it might be their mother's name I search Magherafelt district deaths for a Margaret Wight but the only one with image online so far was the widow of a George Wright.

Have you seen this person?

I had looked at that marriage, but missed the Morwood as a witness, strongly suggests a link as it may jane’s &  George  Morwoods daughter.

I like the logic of Margaret being Esther’s mothers name & the fact her first daughter was Margaret Jane might be a link to her sister too? I wish I could be certain.

Just to confuse the mix I found two baptisms in castledawson slightly later than Esther dob (haven’t found her baptism)

James Wright born 29/12/1844 father John Wright, mother Jane Morwood

Nancy Wright born 12/11/1842 father John Wright mother Jane Davis

Thanks to years of research from myself and another person here in Northern Ireland our DNA results have confirmed our families are connected and as well as parents for my great-great-grandfather & his likely townland of birth there are now lots of new relatives in Ireland, Canada, etc.
