Hi everyone,
Thanks for the information and for your time, them names ring a bell, there seems to be a lot of Wrights from the Rawmarsh, Rotherham area, just wondering somehow if they are all connected in one way or another.

Judging by the names and ages of Martha, Elizabeth, and Abraham, this looks like George's father John in 1851:

Could this be George in 1861? YOB given as c1822, but otherwise details match:

If so, maybe this is is his birth and parents? I can't see any other George Wright born/baptised in Rawmarsh around that time (including 1826):

Here he is with sons in 1851, though Mary must have been elsewhere on the census day:

Possibly the same George in 1841, with siblings. Unfortunately no parents listed:

This is the only Andrew I can find baptised in Rawmarsh - not the same parents as George. Maybe they're cousins, as you suggest, Marion. There do seem to be several Wright families in Rawmarsh in the censuses, so they're probably related.

Hi, thanks for the info.
Been trying to connect two Wright families, I know it is a long shot, but I have been helping two people with their family tree and both have a Wright Family and they all come from Rawmarsh neither families moved from the area.
George Wright was married to Mary Cawthorne, that is how I found the Wright Family.
The other Wright Family, Andrew Wright b. 1814, Rawmarsh married Mary Clarkson,
1830.
Just a long shot really to see if there was a connection between the two families. They could be two separate families, but just thought i would research it.
Most definitely Rotherham

and are you sure its's Rotherham?

How have you worked back to him? Where did you find the details you have given?
Is he connected to either of the Wright families you asked about before:

or is one of them the family you are trying to link him to?

George Wright b. 1826, Rotherham looked everywhere and cannot find anything, trying to see if two families are connected.
Thanks
