He's right there, full name and all.

If you then search for Wright in Mitford living with Joseph James Wright, you get the rest of his household.

Not all the details you get with paid access (and someone who has a sub will come along and give that), but depending on what you're after, doing the free search can be useful.

Hi Janey.

Margaret Faulkner is unmarried on 1901 census but there is a marriage for Joseph James Wright to possibly Margaret Faulkner in dec qt 1901

PS thank you everyone you are too quick for me

It looks as though he married his servant?

I think I can see why it says married for 28 years on the 1911 census - it is talking about Joseph not Joseph and Margaret.

Found this for 1891 census

Thank you Lynski. That makes sense

I found the death for Sarah Elizabeth Wright in 1895

Lynski

Lynski Report 9 Jun 2011 04:44

this is the Sydney who is with Margaret in 1891 -

Births Dec 1888 (>99%)
WRIGHT Sydney Walter Kings L 4b 325

The 'W' has obviously been transcribed as a 'M' (it is correct in 1901)

Battenburg

Battenburg Report 9 Jun 2011 04:58

John Jabez Wright married Edith Jane Purdy born 1857 Walsingham according to the 1881 census

I found a death for Edith Jane Wright in 1886 age 28

another possible marriage
John Jabez Wright 1887 Kings Lynn to Sarah Ann Purdy or Georgiana Strangleman Green ( what a middle name)

death
John Jabez Wright 1894 Mitford age 40

Thank you Lynski.

Im not sure about the last one wrong age and place of birth. I wonder if you can trace that Emily back to the 1891 census to eliminate her?

Thank you again

Lynski

Lynski Report 9 Jun 2011 22:20

I have checked for that Emily in 1891 and she is a widow living with one of her other Watkins nephews so she is the wrong one.
