Find Ancestors

Hi All, I am a real novice so would appreciate some help. I have found my great grandparents marriage(I think)1910 in Rochford Essex. I believe they had 10 children one of which was my grandfather Charles Fredrick Wright 28/05/1928. I am trying to find both sets of parents and any siblings if possible. It has taken me ages to get that far so would really appreciate any help at all!! I am waiting for their marriage cert. as i ordered it the other day. Many thanks for reading this post! Lorna x

There are a few possibles..seems this may be most likely: Charles Frederick Wright born Stepney June quarter 1928 in Stepney mothers maiden name McHugh vol 1c page 357 at GRO.

Possible birth for Ada. This will be guesswork until her marriage cert arrives, it should confirm her age and fathers details.

Thanks all this is so helpful- DOB is defo correct as I have my Grandfathers Death Cert. so must have registered late i guess! Will compare with marriage cert & hopefully all will click.

pm'd siblings as they could be living and not want details posting

Lorna.... The death certificate will contain the information the informant provides so if they are not correct it can make it harder to trace real info. As you suggest it would be best to see what his mothers maiden name was on the marriage certificate before you go forward. good luck

A September quarter registration, if in July, would still be within the 42 days time limit.

Good point Irishgel, hadn't thought about that. Also with what appears to 12 children they certainly were busy! I will take all the info offered and use the marriage cert to hopefully make a heap of progress. Nice to get over one hurdle!! Thanks all. Any more info very much appreciated. Thanks Andrew that looks really promising and very useful found it very difficult to whittle down any census info so hopefuly that has given me a foot up!
Thanks all!!!

when and where did he die?
If you got your grandparents marriage cert it would confirm his fathers name

Hi JanSmith, I don't have my grandparents marriage certificate. I know they married in Rochford 1953. I need to order this Certificate dont i!! This is when i can double check the info offered and compare with my findings. Is it normal that with the 12 children(potentially) that 10 are born in Rochford and 2 in Romford? Charles was born 1928 Rochford Died Rochford/Southend on Sea 2004. Thanks very much for the help.. All my family are from Essex but I don't live in the area as we moved when I was little! Thanks again.

his death index then gives dob as 25th not 28th. I think if you don't have the marriage cert or know for certain ggrandparents name then it will confirm the ggrandfather

Wright Archibald- Turnnidge Ada Mary Rochford Dec 1910 4a 1206 MARRIED This i believe is my ggrandparents. Am waiting for cert. so can see the father for archibald as i dont seem to be able to go any further back with him, it's a common name. Yes that marriage is my grandparents.

I know you are waiting for the cert but do you have any idea when they died

Hi, No I have no idea of Death and have not been able to whittle down any possibilities. I only know that at least 3 of the children stayed in Rochford so would presume Ada & Archibald both died there. There was only one surviving child left when my Grandfather passed away that was Queenie but she was unable to help with dates etc. I really appreciate your help with this, Thanks.

one death index to keep in mind. if 1901 census is her
