Hello Joe,

Wow! What can I say, you have made my Christmas by uncovering some family data for me that I had been thinking was impossible to find. It proves all things come to those who wait 

It does appear to be my family I am researching. I always thought there must have been other children beside John b 1830. John Wright ( my Great Grandfather) married in Glasgow in 1854 & came out to New Zealand with his wife and 5 children in 1865.

Thanks again.
Have a Merry Christmas
