I'm searching for a link with my Wright family of Norwich. First, I found Jeannie Churchman Wright, a descendant of this family, born in Brighton, Sussex in 1854. Then I found Thomas Churchman Wright born in Norwich in 1806. This leads me to believe that Churchman may have been the maiden name of an ancestor probably in the 1700's. Can anyone help me, please?
Kind regards, Dave
