WRIGHTs of NYC/Jersey City
Looking for any info on great grandmother, Ella (Eleanor) Mae Wright, born abt 1873 in Jersey City or NYC.Her father was John Edgar Wright, born abt 1828 in NY, a hatmaker by trade who lived in both Jersey City and NYC.Listed on the 1870 census was mother, Georgiana, father John E., brothers Frederick (born 1858)& Cornelius (born 1862)plus sisters, Emily (born 1860) and Georgiana born 1869. The following census - the mother, and both brothers are missing and a new wife, Ada, born in Prussia is listed.I cannot find death certificates for the mother or brothers or a burial place.My great grandma always said she was raised by her stepmother and she named one of her children, Ada, which was her stepmother's name.I don't know what happened to the stepmother.
John Edgar Wright remarried again to Mary Kelly and had four more children; John Edgar, Jr, Harry, William Covert, and Arthur Hendrickson Wright.Anyone out there related?
