Hi All William WRIGHT of Foxton was hanged in 1802 in Cambridge for passing forged notes. He was born circa 1760 and married first Elizabeth WHENHAM (WENHAM) and second Sarah PLAISE, both in Foxton. Though there were lots of WRIGHTs in Foxton I have been unable to find matching parents for William on the Parish Records. I wonder if anyone can offer a suggestion. He was my 5xg grandfather. Thanks Beryl Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia

Hi Beryl, Unfortunately, I don't have any additional info, but wanted to let you know that I am related to the Wrights of Foxton, as well -- William was also my 5th great grandfather and that's as far as I've gotten. Did you get the information about William's forgery from the book "The Common Stream" or "The Aussies of England, Ireland, and Scotland" or some other source? The latter book says that William had a brother named Edward born 1749 in case that's helpful, but no parents are listed. Please feel free to write me off list if you have any questions.
