Hi Ros
A quick dash to the library finds the marriages of the four girls who
were Wild's WRIGHT sisters:
Charlotte marries William John MALLON in 1861
Ann Jane marries Joseph HALL in 1862
Mary marries John MASON in 1874
Sarah Ann marries David WILLIAMS in 1883.
Of these the Br Ok (where John Thomas WRIGHT was born) and Lake Rowan
(his N of K in c1900) apparent links are with the MASON family, his
Aunty Mary.
The first two children of Mary (sister to Wild) and John MASON were
born in Br Ok in 1876 (John Robert Isaiah MASON) and 1878 (James
Henry Wright MASON). John Thomas WRIGHT was born at the same place in
1878.
Also I think four later children of Mary and John MASON were born in
Lake Rowan in 1883, 1885, 1887 and 1889. maybe Mary and John MASON
moved from Br Ok (whatever that is! Broken River or Bridge Creek or
something else) to Lake Rowan to look after Mary's parents. Mary's
Mother Margaret died in 1890.
Cheers Jennifer
