William Wright

[pepa]

Looking for the cemetery and the date of death for a William Wright who died May or July 1921 at 2423 Hildyard Terrace, New Shildon, Durham and his wife Margaret Wright died April or May 1925 at 10 Hutchinson Street, New Shildon, Durham.  Would love a picture of their stone and any other information on the family.  Many thanks.

I can't help with a burial, but what other information are you after for the family?

I see that he was 83 when he died, so born c1838. He is easy to find in the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census with wife Margaret and (large) family. William, Margaret and (presumably) eldest 3 children were born in Ireland, whilst the younger ones in Shildon, Durham.

1881 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q271-9729
           and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q271-9WC8
1891 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WF6V-X2M
1901 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSHK-T42
1911 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWHL-328

In the 1911 census William says he was born in Lissan, County Derry, and Margaret in Desertmartin, County Derry.

From the children's birth registrations on the GRO, I would say that Margaret's maiden name was MOORE.

There is a partial tree on familysearch.

In addition to the children listed on the tree, they had a son, Archibald, who died age 1, in 1874

Their son, John, who died age 15 in 1885, is buried in All Saints Churchyard, New Shildon, Durham. It is highly likely that his parents are also there.
