    3. Well, good luck with it all, I hope you find what you are looking for. By the way, William Redwood Wright a Tailor aged 58 born Margate was at 5 Charlotte Place on the 1851 census Wife Elizabeth aged 57 Born Canterbury. Did you know that the Colet Arms where Thomas was in 1861, only closed in 2003? It was at 94 Whitehorse Street , Limehouse E1. Will send picture off list.

I had been trying to work out who George had married (other than a Susan or Susannah, of course LOL!). I will have a hunt for Emma in 1871 to see if I can find her. Charles Thomas makes sense - named for Susan's father and George's grandfather AND his brother - I have found Thomas Redwood Wright b 1818, Margate, living in Limehouse and running the Colet Arms as a licensed victualler (1861). In 1871, he is a Licensed Victualler (out of business) living in Stratford-Le-Bow and in 1881, a widower with a live-in housekeeper. He died in 1882. In 1851, Thomas worked for a widow, Emma Gurney, who was a wine and spirit merchant. I will contact the archives to see what they say - I am long overdue a visit to Kent! I would very much like to see a picture of the workhouse too. Once again, thanks for the help Kind regards Pam
