Hello all,

First post on this board and the Ancestry Community.

I have been researching one of the Wright families of York County New Brunswick. I must say that it has been frustrating. Just when you think you have broken down a brick wall, even more questions emerge that make you doubt your previous research.

My family centers around Charles WRIGHT who was born abt 1821, most likely in York County, but there is an outside chance it could have been Maine.

His first marriage is a slight point of contention. At one point, it seemed he married Mary MILLER, of York County, but a professional researcher uncovered information that it was more than likely Mary Jameison, and indeed that marriage has more factual basis, having actually been registered in the York County marriage registrar, 1837-1850.

Land records show the Wrights and Jameisons to be neighbors, which supports, but the Millers were also living close by.

Way too many Wrights, Charles and Marys.

In any case, Mary, whether Miller Or Jameison, died in 1865, leaving Charles with Uriah, Hugh, Frederic and Mary as children. What is undisputed is that Charles married again, this time to Jane McNALLY and had eight other children.

Jane McNALLY's parents were William McNally and Lydia Estey, both of York County, NB.

By 1880, this family had moved from York County to the Houlton, Maine area and some to Bartlett, NH.

I am looking to correspond to anyone who thinks they might have a connection to this family. My main focus is to find the parents of Charles Wright. The only candidate I have is A Joseph H. Wright, who was 57 years old at the time of the 1851 census of Dumfries(later Canterbury), making him the only living Wright to be old enough to be the father.

Any help appreciated.

G. Wright
