John WRIGHT (b abt 1770) married Charlotte UNDERHILL (b abt 1776)
« on: Monday 23 September 19 12:11 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for further information about these two people. They married in 1794 in Loughborough and I think had 12 children. From the 1841 and 1851 census, John WRIGHT was born about 1770 in Hinckley, but I have not been able to locate a baptism record for him, or any information about his parents or siblings. From the 1851 census, Charlotte UNDERHILL apprears to have been born in America; again, I have not been able to locate any further information about her prior to her marriage.

Any help or advice gratefully received !

Hi Duncan 32
The Leicester Marriages CD has the marriage as follows
Leicester All Saints 25 Dec 1794 by Banns John Wright of this parish and Charlotte Underhill of this parish.

Leicester All Saints baptisms children of John & Charlotte Wright
30 Sept 1795 Elizabeth Wright
12 Nov 1797 Charlotte Wright
8 Feb 1800 Mahala Wright
21 Jan 1801 William Wright 
4 July 1803 John Wright
23 May 1805 Mahala Wright 

There is a baptism at Leicester All Saints for a John Wright 28 Nov 1770 parents John & Sarah.
I can't see anything in Hinckley Parish Register for this name about the 1770's.

Hope this helps

Hi Bunnygirl

Thanks very much for taking the time to respond to this and for the information provided. It does look like Elizabeth UNDERHILL is the sister of Charlotte, as the 1851 census notes she too was born in New York. I'll also pursue the baptism for John WRIGHT at All Saints.

Again, thanks for your response.

Regards
