Samuel Pirkins WRIGHT

  General Notes:

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?

Christening date is actually baptism date and is from Sandy Hall research. This also source of second name - just 'P' in census'.

We know he had a son 'cos his father's will says "pay the same unto the guardian or parent of my Grandson the son of my late son Samuel Pirkins Wright". We also therefore know that he was dead by 1881.

1851 Census (age 3) living at 'Farm House' Priors Marston with father and siblings. Name very hard to read, but 'P' might be Perkins.

1861 Census (Age 13); Living at Priors Marston ('South of Village') with parents, 5, siblings, 2 cousins (Eleanor and Charlotte Lamb) and 4 servants.

WHERE was he in 1871??

Dead by 28th of Feb 1879 (as 'late' in his fathers will).

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.
Samuel, died by accident result of gangerine in one leg. Shows his son and marriage. Dates given but unclear what they relate to. PRESUMABLY THIS PERSON
Perkins Bradshaw, went to Australia, never tracked down. Possibly this is James Bradshaw Wright?

Earlier research when looking for death;
If he died young you'd think there would be something in Priors Marston church, like his siblings. Nevertheless, full death search 1861-71;
1861 Q1; Samuel Wright, Wellingborough
1861 Q1; Samuel Wright; Daventry
1861 Q1; Samuel Wright; Blaby (if visiting Leics. relatives)
1863 Q2; Samuel Wright; Leicester
1864 Q4; Samuel Wright; Daventry
1865;Q2; Samuel Wright; Newport P (agnell?)
1865 Q4; Samuel Wright; Leicester
1866 Q3; Samuel Wright, aged 17, Gt Boughton (can't find, but 2 x Boughton's in Northants) ..... actually think Great Boughton in Cheshire, so maybe not.
1870 Q3; Samuel Wright, aged 24, Nottingham - unlikely, but ages almost match
Non of the above really appeal, but Daventry and Wellingborough ones most likely.
However as we now know that he had a son so the above is probably irrelevant and he was possibly still alive in 1871 (when he would be only 23) !

1871 Census; Can't find, a few possibles, most likely of which is the Samuel Wright (birthplace 'Not know') who is 23 and a lodger in Tipton, Staffs. Occupation given as 'Professionals' (him and the other lodgers). !

Full marriage index search, working backwards from Q1 1879;
1879 Q1; Non likely
1878 Q4; Non likely
1878 Q3; non likely
1878 Q2; Samuel, Rugby, 6d, 661, unlikely
1878 Q1; Non at all to
1876 Q1; non likely
1875 Q4; Samuel, DAVENTRY, 3b, 236 - Very possible
1875 Q3; non likely
1875 Q2; Samuel, Northampton, 3b 138 - possible
1875 Q1; non likely to
1871 Q4; non likely
1871 Q3; Samuel, Newport Pagnell, 3a 758 - possible
