There is no indication that it is Ann's son.. Found a couple of trees now, they go for Ann's half-brother!

Just doubling back, there is this bap for Wright, but interestingly the parents are baptising another child, see partial image..

Must be Leah, she is on the 1861 with the family..

There may be too much info to support Wright being the son of John and Ellen and the error probably lies with the 1851 census.

Thanks Geoff.

MORTON, LEAH - ROEBUCK

It looks like June 10 1851.

The Wright with mmn Roebuck can be found in 1851 and 1861 and his marriage and onwards.

No birth or death to 1861 and not found in 1861 census for the other one.

No..

Thanks Geoff.

I can remove the baptism for Wright and the marriage of John & Ellen. John is not George's brother so no reason to include them.
