    Default Greenhow and Wright in Yorkshire

    Hi everyone, I am hoping to fill some gaps here. I am looking for the following surnames of my family tree.

    Greenhow, Matthews, Wright, Baker

    Wright - my great grandparents Fredrick & Annie (née not sure ) Wright they were born & married some time befor late 19th century in England. They had two girls both born in England. They immigrated to Australia, when there children were young, not sure when. The family started in or around Sussex.

    Maud born 8 th April around 19th century (my grandmother) ( married Charles (David?) Matthews )

    Grace ( married Cyril Hunter )
    They had 6 children I don't know all the names

    Hello LadyPeach,

    Welcome to British-Genealogy.

    I don't know about Australia but in the UK Wright is a fairly common surname so we're going to need slightly more precise details than 'not sure' and 'some time before late 19th century'.

    Can you work out approximate birth years from ages at death?

    Are Grace and Barbara the two girls born to Frederick and Annie in England?

    As you will have noticed names of people who I know are living have been removed, in accordance with our T& C. I suspect that your list contains several other people who are living. If so, could you please send me a PM (private message) with their names. (To send a PM, just click on my user name.)

    Sorry l got my grandmother Grace, on the patirnal side of my family mixed up with my Great Aunt Gladys.

    Ok Barbra is Gladys daughter she l believe is the eldest, my second cousin, she was born here in Australia. Grace is my great Aunt. getting the details for Australia is easy., it's getting the English side is the hard part. I put thoughs details to help & see if anyone else was looking for info on my family.


    The info l do need info for, is Annie Greenhow (née Wright), my great grandmother. The only info l have is that of my grandmother, Maud Greenhow, youngest daughter of Annie & Fredrick Greenhow, born 8th April 1900, Bradford, Yorkshire. I am waiting on details for my great Aunt.

    Hello
    I have moved this thread from the 'Introduce yourself' forum to the 'Yorkshire' forum as it is well on the way as a research thread.
    It's title is now Greenhow and Wright in Yorkshire.
