Elizabeth Hilton b1872 in Ince
« on: Saturday 22 October 22 17:02 BST (UK) »
I would appreciate any help to progress the family tree of one of my grandfathers sisters.
  Elizabeth Hilton was born in 1872 in Ince, the daughter of John Hilton and Susannah Hilton (nee Unsworth). If I am correct Elizabeth married William James Wright (b1872) at St. Peters in Hindley in 1896. The 1901 census shows them living at 16, Lord St. Hindley, with a daughter Hannah aged 1, and Ann aged 75, who I assume is Williams mother.
  The 1911 census shows Elizabeth living at 5,Back Granby St. Hindley with three children, Hannah aged 11, James aged 5, and Nellie aged 2.  William is not shown on the census so it is possible he died between the birth of Nellie and the 1901 census. I have looked for a death for him on Lancashire BMD and LancsOPC but I can't find one.
It is also possible that Elizabeth remarried, but I don't know how to find that information.
Thank you for any help.

When looking at Wright/Hilton births - Joseph Wright married Ann Hilton 1903 Wigan. 

Apart from the children listed in 1901 & 1911 there is a possibility any others from 1911 onwards could belong to a different family

When William James Wright married Elizabeth Hilton in 1896 he records his father as William Wright,deceased. Believe this to be incorrect.. He appears in 1881 census as below.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27G-33G5

Mary Garside is nee' Wright, married William Garside dq 1871 Wigan

Ellen Wright

WRIGHT, ELLEN       mmn HESKETH 
GRO Reference: 1855  S Quarter in WIGAN  Volume 08C  Page 51

William James,

WRIGHT, WILLIAM  JAMES     mmn HESKETH 
GRO Reference: 1872  M Quarter in WIGAN  Volume 08C  Page 49

When William James was baptised 25th February 1872 his dob is recorded as 16th January 1872 and his parents James & Ann, (believe their marriage jq 1847 Wigan)

The 1939 register does record a William J Wright with this dob living in Radclffe.

Possible death

WRIGHT, WILLIAM  JAMES     82

Quote from opening post,
"Elizabeth Hilton was born in 1872 in Ince, the daughter of John Hilton and Susannah Hilton (nee Unsworth)"

Birth

HILTON, ELIZABETH       UNSWORTH 
GRO Reference: 1871 D Quarter in WIGAN  Volume 08C  Page 82

Do you have her birth certificate giving exact dob. If so was it the 8th November 1871.
