* THOMAS WRIGHT born 15th April 1806 at Hose Grange and died 10th December 1852

He married SARAH NOUTCH on 4th December 1832

He was the named Victualler in 1830 upon the death of his aunt Frances, sister of his mother Anne
Welbourne The death of Thomas at the age of 46 was due to "mortification of the leg for six weeks"

There are many family stories about Thomas Wright who married his house-keeper and was disowned
and disinherited by his parents. He had four children, one son died at 7 monthe old. It is believed
that the boys went to university, one, Thomas became an engineer at Rochester and another, John,
became a teacher and owned a private school.

Their daughter Sarah Ann helped her mother at the Chequers until her marriage when her first
husband William Welbourne became the victualler and after his death Sarahs second husband, John
Wood took over the licence. Following his early death the mantle fell upon Sarah untill 1905 when she
died. The Chequers was then sold out of the family to a brewery.

This is the family line of Elizabeth Barry who has contributed
a lot of the research into the Welbourne family of Woolsthorpe

Are you also related to this family of Long Clawson?

can you help to add to them -

Anne had sent her ladies maid Sarah
Noutch to help Thomas with Chequers
but they did not expect him to marry
Sarah who was but his house-keeper.

However, Sarah was a strong character,
educated all the children, ran the
Chequers and managed to do embroidery
work in her spare time.
