this is the one i think they are

Have you found the Wright family in 1871?

yes they are still there in the 1871 census
linda

Could the two Wright gentlemen be Husbands of Jane Bonds sisters?

If the Jane Bond & family I found above were the right ones could two of the sisters maybe have married two Wrights?

I have found a possible marriage between a William Wright & Ellen Bond in 1875 Preston
& also a possible marriage of a Richard Wright & Ann Bond.

Just sharing my thoughts out loud so to speak.

i have looked at all the childrens births under wright and under bond and found that i got a near perfect match under bond very srange

Its very strange.

Do you have the Slater / Bond marriage cert to confirm Janes fathers name?

yes i do it says william bond

one of the witnesses is richard bond

Forgive me if you've already answered this question Linda...

When you say the children have all gone back to using the name Bond in 1881 Do you know where William & Ellen were in later census?

cant find william and ellen in later census but i dont think i tried under the name bond hmm thats a thought

The Bond & Wright families are definitely the same

Here's Ellen & daughter Betty in 1851 as Bonds this time

glad you can confirm that i wonder why they have changed there name i have been trying to sort this out for months

Its very strange for the whole family to change their name like that isn't it.

You could maybe think if they were all in the same house & it was just in one census that maybe they were hiding from some one or had something to hide but its very strange for the two brothers to use the same alternate surname 10 yrs apart & for the whole family to be recorded as Wright over a 30 year period but for Jane to marry as Bond.

Have you found Richard or William after they appear with the Slaters?

Is this your William? ( Janes brother )

There a long list of names for this household

You'll probably never find out why they all used the name Wright for so long but if you do let me know Linda, this has got me intrigued.

these are the ones i found and believe they are the family. william lived in chorley with abraham and looks like he married a chorley girl

thanks chrisa for all your help i will keep delving. if i find out anything i will surely let you know
