WRIGHT, Joseph

Hi Samari,

Thanks for you message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you.

Unfortunately, Catholic records for the parish of Tullycorbet do not start until the latter half of the 19th century:

Also, I did a search for Wright?s in the two land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century-however there were no Joseph Wright?s in Tullycorbet parish.

The earlier of the two is the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38). Click the following links to browse what families were recorded in Tullycorbet parish.

The later is Griffith?s Valuation (1848-64). Here are the Joseph Wright's recorded in Co. Monaghan:

It may be an idea to contact Monaghan Genealogy to see if they can be of any assistance, however a fee may apply. Here is their email: info@monaghangenealogy.ie

Hi Samarai

I too descend from Joseph WRIGHT & would be happy to share any information I have gathered to date. Unfortunately it is all related to his life in NSW.
