Phoebe Wright/Woods Liverpool help!
« on: Yesterday at 13:45 »
I’m wondering if anybody can help me work my way back from Phoebe Wright who married John Woods in Liverpool. There’s so many Woods/wrights/James/Johns that I’m at a total dead end!

Marriage: 11 Feb 1877 All Saints, Liverpool, Lancs.
John Woods - 24 Labourer Bachelor of 66 Buckingham St
Phoebe Wright - (X), 21 Spinster of 18 Buckingham St
    Groom's Father: William Woods, Cab Driver
    Bride's Father: William Henry Wright, Carter
    Witness: Richard Woods; Elizabeth Kenny, (X)

I believe this is their marriage…
I noticed that there is ELIZABETH KENNY as a witness…

I saw a marriage between a WILLIAM KENNY WRIGHT and ELLEN ROBINSON 1842 LIVERPOOL

I’m unsure if this is correct and I’m unable to see if there was any connection to the name KENNY past these two things…the name past this seems to be WILLIAM HENRY WRIGHT

I believe this ELLEN WRIGHT if correct, passed away in 1864 LIVERPOOL.

This family had came up in another post I did regarding the HESKETH family, but it started to get too confusing with the different names and such. So I’m trying to isolate the families in these posts to make it easier for myself and future family members!

Any input would be greatly appreciated as I’m giving myself a headache and getting nowhere :)

My maternal side is Wright so I know the problems😂

If she is the Phoebe Wright b 1855 then her mothers maiden name was Robinson

If she is the 1857 birth her mmn was Kenyon

The 1842 marriage was William Henry - not William Kenny

This looks to be the same couple in 1851:

Liverpool St Martin
ED 1h
piece 2176
folio 278
page 45
schedule no. 161

in which case Helen was aka Ellen and there are Robinson in-laws present
Boyd, Dove, Blakey, Burdon

Is that if you read the original? Bcos on FAMILYSEARCH it’s listed as WILLIAM KENNY…but I know from experience that what it says and what you read aren’t always the same! And I haven’t been able to see the original!

William ‘Kenny’ looks like a mistranscription to me: it is clearly Henry in the signature on the 1842 marriage.
