And so on &amp; so forth... This is first time I'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' 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't enter placenames etc if possible, just be prepared to flog thro lots of possibles... if you'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>
