You could try to find William in the same way I found Thomas. First, go to the PRO 1901 site (http://www.1901censusonline.*com) and search under his first name, surname and occupation. Look for likely candidates in the Durham area. Make a list, then go to Ancestry and find the same men on there. This will allow you to view the census images and full transcriptions. There are a few William James Wrights from Durham unfortunately, so it might be best to get George's birth cert to find his mothers name, then you can find out when they married. |

I think you're right . Looking at the possibilities on ancestry.co.uk, there are a few to choose from with nothing being a dead certainty. So, birth certificates it is..... I think the Wrightys want to stay buried. |

Thanks you 2. I appreciate the help with the follow-on. Westle is an interesting surname. Wonder if I'm heir to the hamburger empire? The thing about the Westles is that there isnt another Westle within around 20+ miles at the time and where they lived is about a 10 min walk from where some of my family still live which is a small pit village. |

Sarah Ann Westle was born in 1897. Couldnt have been married in 1903. There is a Sarah Ann Wastle (17) born Morpeth. Seems there are a couple of variation on this name. Westle is George Robert Wrights Mothers maiden name taken from birth index. Georges Father, William James Wright, has a marriage entry for 1903. Sarah Annie Westtle and Sarah Annie Westlle have each got a seperate marriage entry ffor 1903. Wow, I cant keep up. |
