I'd advise tracking down whatever local papers were in the area and seek an Obit and a marriage announcement. There may be some info there to glean. If you don't live in the area, get on the lists and see if you can find someone to do a lookup. The local library may well have archives of the newspapers as well. -----Original Message----- >From: Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> >Sent: May 15, 2008 8:20 AM >To: Wright@rootsweb.com >Subject: [WRIGHT] Mary Elizabeth WRIGHT, b~1844 MA (HUTCHINSON) > >Hello, > >I just joined this List to see if I can find out about a lady in Winchester, >MA.
