I can't find this one in FS:

In 1851, Harriet Eastwood, 40, dressmaker, is at the home of Benjamin and Esther Woodhead. Her status is sister-in-law.

Something is not right:

MORTON, George Head Mar M 45 Overlooker of Woollen Factory Kirkburton Yorkshire
MORTON, Ann Dau Unm F 22 Kirkburton Yorkshire
MORTON, Wright Son M 0 (1 WKS) ?[1 year] Kirkburton Yorkshire

Here the parish is Cartworth yet in post #2 father George is in parish Wooldale ???

George is listed as married in 1851. Charlotte died in 1839 and he married Harriet in Nov 1851. Was there a marriage in between?

Or Wright is not with his father in 1861. Who is Wright's (birth registered Mar Qtr 1850) mother?

Looks as though Wright's age should be 1y, not 1 week in 1851 as quote...

So Wright's parents are John/Ellen, not George/Ellen.

You're right, there is something wrong

Unless Wright is staying with George/Harriet in 1851 and there is an error between George/John as father.

Thanks Geoff, I think. :biggrin:

So we don't know several things. My first reaction is that there must be 2x Wright.

It did cross my mind too, but I can't see another birth

The 1850 reg and the baptism with parents John & Ellen probably match. If the age is correct in the census then we are wrong in saying it should be 1 year to match the reg. Perhaps there is no reg for that one and no middle marriage for George. Then there should be two deaths for a 'Wright' but probably more.

Yes, two deaths and neither fit:

Deaths Jun 1890
Morton Wright 75 or 73 Leeds 9b 339

Deaths Mar 1951
MORTON Wright 69 Spen Valley 2d 612

 

[DaveHam9]

Two more:

Deaths Jun 1864
MORTON Wright Manchester 8d 163 or 168


This one fits for age:

Deaths Dec 1913
Morton Wright 63 Ashton 8d 656

Births Mar 1846

Thanks Geoff.

The one who died in 1913 was probably born in Lancs.

We are stuck.
