Wrights of Philadelphia, late 1800's
Searching for info on the parents of Oliver Wright, born about 1841 in Northern Ireland, immigrated abt 1852, and died after 1910. He was a drayman. He lived in Philadelphia for the rest of his life on York St and East Dauphin St and Quigg's Court (Fishtown). His mother may have been Lucy. His wife was Martha Stenson(Steenson, Stinson)from PA. His children were William, John, Lucinda, Anna, Martha, Oliver Jr, James & Joseph. I cannot find where he entered the US. It may not have been Philadelphia. There is a Philly family with some of the same names and dates who came from Canada but I don't believe they are the correct Wright family. Any help on Oliver's parents would be appreciated and I would be glad to share info on his descendants. This man is one of my brick walls!
