Dawn Report 29 Dec 2016 18:48

I am trying to find the above person after 1891 please. He was born in 1869 to Thomas Wright and Sarah Wright (Goulding) in Saundby Nottinghamshire, he was their oldest child. On the 1881 census he is aged 12 living with parents and siblings in Walkeringham Notts, in the notes for the census it states he was an imbecile from birth. In 1891 he is still at home aged 22, transcribed as blind and lame from birth. I cannot find anything after this date for him, not even a possible death. His mother died in 1914, his father died in 1939 after remarrying in 1916. Does anyone know of any workhouse records to see if he was put in one after 1891. Thanks in advance.

1911 census says Sarah had had 15 children (poor woman), and six of them had died.

There are one or two deaths which might conceivably be his, if the informant didn't know his exact age - if, for example, he had been in a hospital or similar - though I don't see him anywhere in 1901 or 1911.

For example:

Thomas Wright
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Thomas Wright
Birth Date: abt 1866
Date of Registration: Jun 1939
Age at Death: 73
Registration district: east Retford
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 6



Thomas Wright
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1837-1915
Name: Thomas Wright
Estimated birth year: abt 1866
Registration Year: 1895
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death: 29
Registration district: East Retford
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 10


Of course, he may not have died in East Retford.
