Have more information for those who may have Wright's in England or Canada.

Thomas Wright b 1805c d 1870 buried at fotherby Lincs, married Maria ? b 1804-1806 c Yarbourgh Lincs d 1890 Buried at Fotherby. Children: Thomas (that we know of) b 1851 Fotherby

Thomas b 1851 Fotherby Lincs married Alice Tasker b1854 Mavis Enderby Lincs, children: Harry born 1874 Fotherby, Edith Tasker Wright b 1876 Little Grimsby, Arthur b 1878 Little Grimsby, William b1880 Little Grimsby (this information on the 1881 census) (other children Etta, Thomas, Alice, Nelly) and Edmund born 1899 Louth.

Thomas was head gardener at the Little Grimsby estate, at some stage he was given the Public house by the name of the Kings Head Inn in Louth. We think he died around 1914 in Louth and Alice died not much later.

At this stage I don't know much about the other children but family stories is that two of the son's left England and emigrated to Winnipeg in Canada.

Edmund married Edith Wilson in 1925-1926 at Skidbrook Church, two children Barbara 1927 and Bernard 1936.
