Hi Listers, I have now found one of my Wrights to have married into the Todd/Tod Family. Elisabeth Wright married Thomas Todd on 6 November 1849 in either Rothesay or Kingarth. Her father was Robert Wright & Helen Thom (I have that family) His father was a Matthew Todd. I don't have any other info for Thomas I have checked the 1841 census but no Todd or Tod in sight. They had some children in Ayr so the family could have come from there also. The interesting thing about this family is that either Elisabeth and Thomas Todd and/or their children or some of their children immigrated to New Zealand also pre 1881 and one of them or their child was the father of Reginald Stephen Garfield Todd, born Invercargill, NZ in 1908. "SIR Garfield Todd, was the former Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) whose commitment to African advancement exasperated his successors in the former British colony. He was locked up twice by Ian Smith's government for supporting black majority rule. Yet later, after being created a senator by President Robert Mugabe in 1980. He was knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in 1989, with Mugabe's approval, at the behest of the New Zealand Government." I remember my father talking about him when I was much younger and only now have I finally found the connection for myself! I'd love to hear from anyone interested in the Todd/Tod name. Many thanks to all, Liz Larsen Coffs Harbour Australia
