Wright Family in Mortlake, Stepney and Deptford areas of London
My Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather William Wright was a shopkeeper in Mortlake, Surrey (now South West London) who died in 1801 leaving a will proved the following year.He and his wife, Ann, had four children baptised in Mortlake, Nanny in 1779, William 1781, John 1784 and Mary 1788, both sons being mentioned in the will which was made in 1791.William's widow, Ann died in 1838 by which time she was living at Juxon's Almshouses in Mortlake.
The second son, John, married Sarah Fraser on 10 November 1827 in St. Mary's, Newington, Surrey (now South East London).Sarah was born about 1794 in Chiswick, Middlesex (on opposite bank of the Thames from Mortlake in South West London). John and Sarah had three children baptised in St. George in the East, Middlesex (Stepney): Henry in 1828, William in 1830 and Mary in 1831.John was described as a coal merchant in 1830 but a pensioner by 1851, and lived with his wife at 2, James Street in the parish of St. George in the East in 1841 and 1851.
William who was baptised in 1830 married Jane Eliza Sullivan on 1st December 1853 in St. Paul's Deptford, Kent (now South East London) and had seven children, all baptised there:
1) Jane Flora (born 1856, married John Chappell, an undertaker, in 1877 and had at least four daughters: Ethel, Nellie, Jessie & Hilda),
2) William Walter (a tailor, born 1858, married Emma Jane Alford Taylor and had eleven children: Aimée, William, Winnie, Stanley, Cecil, Alexander, Dorothy, Kathleen, Gladys, Harold and Marjorie)
3) Henry (born 1859)
4) Frank Edwin (born 1863)
5) Charles Alfred (born 1866)
6) Emily Eliza (born 1869, married Alfred Julius Stevens and had three children: Julius,Ronald and Winnifred).
I am interested in any additional information about this family, particularly about any descendants.
