John William Vanderplank WRIGHT
- Born: 1846, Irthlingborough, Northants.
- Christened: 12 Mar 1846, Irthlingborough, Northants.
- Died: 17 Aug 1872 at age 26
- Buried: St Leonards Church Yard, Priors Marston
 General Notes:
Christening date is actually baptism date and is from Sandy Hall research.
Repton have no record of him as a pupil (unlike his 1/2 brother). There are a number of possibles for his education, Warwick School for example. There is a governess at Priors Marston in 1871, but not in prior years, so presumably she was for the girls?
1851 Census (age 4) living at 'Farm House' Priors Marston with father and siblings. Name very hard to read, there is a third christian name - looks like Vanderplank, whch matches incscription in PM church; http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/mi/mi_priors_marston.html so will assume it is.
1861 Census (Age 14); Living at Priors Marston ('South of Village') with parents, 5, siblings, 2 cousins (Eleanor and Charlotte Lamb) and 4 servants.
1871 Census; tried to find. No exact matches, a few possibles (if give latitude on PoB).
In the Scottish census (getting desparate now!) there is a John Wright born England who is in Ayr as a Pvt in the 5th Fusiliers , but he is shown as 29. There is also a John Wright,22, Stereotyper, born England living in Midlothian. And, most likely, a John B Wright, 27, living in Glasgow who is 'Com Clerk In Rine Tock' (Wine Trade?). The B. could be a mis-transcription, but unfortunately cannot see the actual census forms for Scotland on ancestry.
Found grave in St Leonards Churchyard, Priors Marston. Actually died 17th Aug 1872 - so where was he in '71? Aged at death was 25, but this doesn't tie in with christening date? Grave is actually two stones - a 'normal' one and then, at foot of grave a smaller one with just JWVW inscribed on it. Specifically says he is eldest son - so no earlier sons.
Bill Martin's handwritten family tree, passed down through the family, shows Sir John ('St John' ?!?) Bradshaw Wright as being the father of;
William, died on wedding day thrown from horse. PRESUMABLY THIS PERSON
Samuel, died by accident result of gangerine in one leg. Shows his son and marriage. Dates given but unclear what they relate to.
Perkins Bradshaw, went to Australia, never tracked down. Possibly this is James Bradshaw Wright?
