<p><br />
And so on &amp; so forth... This is first time I&#039;ve used this site for searching on the other side of the pond, SO much easier/faster than for UK residents !. This is a good site although apparently prone to errors in transcriptions (although so is Ancestry in my limited experience so?). Care is needed when filtering, I recommend only use thro&#039; the Census filters NOT the BMD ones, and for country of birth use &quot;England&quot; or &quot;Wales&quot; first AND THEN &quot;UK&quot; if no luck the first time (yes I know its odd!). After that don&#039;t enter placenames etc if possible, just be prepared to flog thro lots of possibles... if you&#039;re lucky SOME entries give complete households, but not always !</p>

<title>Benjamin &amp; Maria Wright</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benjamin Wright b1824 and Maria Harrison b1826 were both born and married in Caynham, Shropshire, where they had the following children:</p>
<p>Benjamin 1845<br />
Jabez 1847<br />
Thomas 1849<br />
Miriam 1851<br />
Eliza 1853<br />
Mary Ann 1855</p>
<p>Between 1855-56 they moved to the FoD and are at Little Dean Hill in 1861.</p>
<p>Another two children were born in the Forest:</p>
<p>Arthur 1856<br />
Luther 1858</p>
<p>I cannot find the family after 1861, even though there are some slightly unusual names amongst them. It is possible they were captured by Forest brigands and stuffed down a rabbit hole; although I am more inclined to think they emigrated. </p>
<p>I would appreciate some help please!</p>
