    3. Hello everyone, I am finally trying bribery. I have recently inherited a glass pitcher that belonged to my Greatgrandmother, Isabella(Birney)Wright, 1857 - 1925. Bella lived on Edgemont St and also Albert St in Philadelphia. The pitcher is of red and clear cut glass and is inscribed with her name and "Atlantic City 1897"(this is not depression glass). I imagine it's something she bought on the boardwalk. I would be willing to send a photo of the pitcher to anyone who can provide me with info (proof)of her father-in-laws' parents and grandparents from Northern Ireland. I am not interested in William or Bella's descendants. I have all I need on them. Her father-in-law was Oliver Wright, 1838 - 1917. I am not interested in Oliver's descendants. I have all I need on them. He was a drayman from Northern Ireland. He arrived in Philly from Londonderry on the Ship Harvest, alone. He lived on Ball St and Fletcher St, Philly. His mother may have been Lucy and his father may have been William Henry Wright. I can find no proof. Lucy divorced Wm Henry and went on to marry Robert McKay although there was a huge difference in their ages. I am not interested in the McKays if she is not his mother. I am beginning to think that James Wright may possibly be Oliver's father or uncle. They lived in the same area and shared the same occupation. By the Irish naming methods he may possible be Oliver's father. This man is my brick wall. Remember, I am not interested in Oliver's descendants. If this works, I have other items which were inherited when one of my grandmother's passed in 1972. Sandy
