Hi all,
I am looking for any information on the above especially parents and siblings.
I believe he married an Amy Allcock and had an illigitimate child Johnathon Wright.

OK, will just use this thread from now on.
Still really struggling to find anymore info on william's previous marriage to Ann.
Have found the possible burial document for William which states he was buried in 1811 aged 77 years. Which means he'd have been born in 1734 not 1760 as i previously thought.
Possible marriage to an Ann Freeman in Bannington 1763 i think or an Ann Ward. But how do i find out if it is him?

there were 2 william wright's that were buried in hainford. 1 in 1811 aged 77, therefore born 1734. the other buried 1806 aged 70, therefore born 1736.
i know that the william i am looking for married amy allcock in 1787 in hainford, and that this was his second marriage after his first wife ann died. william and ann did not marry in hainford as i cannot find a record for this, so i am assuming that they married elswhere and moved to hainford.
i am also assuming that niether william or ann were born in hainford. i have tried to find any marriages between a william wright and an ann. these are the options so far: ann ward 8 jan 1764 bresslingham, ann freeman 3 oct 1763 banningham and ann clarke 29 nov 1749. If anyone can find anymore i would appreciate it.
