Death of William
William Wright Knaresborough 1918 aged 74 Jun qtr 9a 149 I'm struggling to find Hester in 1911. I can't find a marriage either. I wonder if she was in an asylum then and was only listed by initials.

Not necessarily - my great-aunt was in an asylum, and shown by initials only in 1901, but by her full name in 1911.

Thank you Marg - sorry, been sidetracked from the computer! I'm still not sure about this Charles Marshall. Yes Robert and Mabel at 58 Chatsworth Place is correct - I used to stay there with them as a child occasionally. So Richard's father William remarried then, and had died by the time Richard did the murders? Yes Marg, would like the images - thank you. I'll pm you my email address. It's a mystery about Hester though.

Article 4 - 9th Feb 1825
EXPERTS ON PATHOLOGICAL DRUNKENESS The three doctors called from England did not appear with the resumption of the trial. Instead, their written statements were admitted as evidence and they testified to the presence of imbecility and insanity in the Wright family. A German professor, Dr Von Müller-Hess, an eminent criminologist and specialist in criminal jurisprudence, had been examining Richard's mental condition. He said the eleven pints of beer consumed by Wright before the crime contained a very high level of alcohol; enough to cause a person of Wright's mental inferiority to become pathologically drunk. Pathalogical drunkenness differed from ordinary drunkeness in that following a period of heavy drinking and sleep, the individual would have little recolection of their actions. This would explain why Richard believed he only fired one shot, and was a mental aberration. He also admitted that pathalogical drunkeness can follow a period of ordinary drunkeness. A second specialist, Professor Aschaffenburg, gave similar evidence. Counsel objected to the question whether the witness believed the accused had committed the crime whilst in a state of "transitory mental bewilderment". However, the court allowed the question if the reply related to actual observation of the prisioner, as which witness replied "Yes." Witness further expressed that it was his opinion that the accused did not know the nature of the act he had committed. The court adjourned. Reuter.

If Hester had been in an asylum for 15 years in 1925 then that takes us back to about 1910 and she would have been about 22 years of age, so probably not married. How come I don't easily see a death for her, presuming she stayed in the asylum indefinitely?
Oh cripes, is this her? Name: Hester Wright Birth Date: About 1889 Death Registration Month/Year: 1970 Q2 Registration district: Staincliffe Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding Volume: 2d Page: 956 and they didn't even know her date of birth. How very sad.

So would that have made her about 21 yrs old when she went into the Asylum then? Oh yes, just re-read your post Merry. She could possibly have been married then - just. Am wondering if they have spelt her name correctly, it could have been Esther.
