Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Benjamin Wright was born in 1831 in Wolverhampton (son of James Curran and Mary Parry, son of Thomas Wright); died about May 1916 in Runcorn.

    Other Events:

    • Occupation: Waterman

    Notes:

    Widowed in 1871 census on a cabin boat at Harris Wharf, Toll End, Tipton, next to a Martha Fisher, widow, 28, and daughter Mary, 2, with William Beresford, 32, brother of Benjamin's first wife Caroline Beresford and her sister Martha. It is thought likely that this Martha Fisher is the widowed Martha Digoray, nee Beresford, who becomes Benjamin's partner thereafter.

    Benjamin married Martha Beresford. Martha (daughter of Joseph Wright and Alice Dyer, daughter of George Beresford and Ann Underhill) was born in 1843 in Tipton, Staffordshire; died about Feb 1917 in Runcorn. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Martha Beresford was born in 1843 in Tipton, Staffordshire (daughter of Joseph Wright and Alice Dyer, daughter of George Beresford and Ann Underhill); died about Feb 1917 in Runcorn.

    Notes:

    Abode in 1866 marriage to William Digoray is Toll End, Tipton. No death found for him, or second marriage for Martha, who is clearly Benjamin's partner after 1871 as children's birth records confirm mother's maiden name as Ber(r)esford. Quite likely to be the 'Martha Fisher' at Harris Wharf, Toll End, next to Benjamin in the 1871 census.
    Age oddly given as 50 in 1881 census.
