Maragert Clark/William Wright
Looking for infomation on William and Margaret (Clark) Wright. I find the Wright family in the 1851 census as well as other records. I am trying to find information on Margaret and her family and information on her marriage to William Wright.
Their daughter Margaret (Wright) Appelbe death record states Father William Wright b Ireland, Mother Margaret Clark
b Ireland.
I am not having any luck finding information on Margaret "Clark" between 1812-1830 (she would be 18-20 when her first child was born according to the 1851 census).
1851 census:
Wright, William, farmer, b. Ireland, Episcopalian, age 52
Wright, Margaret, b. Ireland, age 39
Wright, ???ce, female, b. Canada, age 20
Wright, Elizabeth, b. Canada, age 18
Wright, Sarah, b. Canada, age 16
Wright, Clarresa, b. Canada, age 15
Wright, Margaret, b. Canada, age 12
Wright, John G., b. Canada, age 11
Wright, Thomas C., b. Canada, age 8
Wright, Mary A., b. Canada, age 5
William's 1872 will lists: daughter Sarah Wilson wife of James Wilson, daughter Jane Triller wife of Darcy Triller, daughter Clarissa Appelbe wife of John Appelbe, daughter Margaret Appelbe with of Pierce Appelbe, daughter Mary Ann Wright and son Thomas Wright.
No mention of his wife Margaret so I can only guess she has died before 1872.
Closet thing I found (would make her being married at age 12)--Irish Records Extraction Database
Name: William Wright Sex: Male Marriage: 1824 Marriage Place: Presbyterian Churches, Killinchy and Kilmud, County Down, Northern Ireland Spouse: Elizabeth Clark
Source: Z. Mettam. Northern Ireland Marriages, Volume 1 (Manuscript found at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City on microfilm 824282, item 2).
Marriages are taken from County Down: Boardmills 1st Presbyterian Church, 1782-1842; 1851-1870; Down/Downpatrick, 1700-1874; Dromara, 1817-1845; Dromore, 1784-1845; Drumbo, 1706-1721; Killinchy, 1812- 1845; Killyleagh, 1835-1872; Kilmore, 1833-1845; and Kircubbin, 1802- 1845.
Registration of marriages at the General Register Office in Dublin was compulsory for all Protestants after April 1845 in Ireland. They are the official record.
Anyone that can help I certainly would appreciate hearing from you
