I am looking for a death date for Thomas Wright. He married Sarah Holt on 5 Nov 1820 in Kingswinford. As far as I know, they had two confirmed children, Martha (born 1825) and Harriett (born 1833). I am sure there are others. Martha is my 3 times great grandmother. Sometime after 1833 Thomas died and it looks like Sarah married a William Smith. I think Thomas was born about 1800, but not too sure as to where. So if anyone could help with when Thomas died and possibly when Sarah married, it would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

LJ! you back! xx

Hey N. Lass!
I thought that maybe Joe and Edward were Thomas's. Thanks for the reinforcement. Had the others, but was not positive until now! And thanks for the death notice for Tom. Still looking for the marraige of Sarah and William. I can't find the Vainess Smith that is in the 1851 census....not on BMD that I can see, and can't find him in the 1861 census. And with such an odd name you would think I could find him. Now I just need to tract down Thomas's parents......why does he have to have the last name of Wright???? Something odd would have been so much easier to track down!!
Thanks for the help coz! xx

Hi LJ not sure on Joseph as if that Thomas is the one that died in 1838 then Joseph must be a Smith.b abt 1840? or could that be 1839 in which case could it be Thomas's kid....dunno.
Think he is bapt as thomas and sarahs.
but it does need rechecking
