Wrigley: Family tree
1. Overview
Cecilia Wrigley (1841 – 1928) and George Edwin Wilson (1833 – 1915) were my husband’s great-great-grandparents. Cecilia descended from a line of Wrigleys residing in Yorkshire of old, who were wealthy manufacturers and merchants of woolen textiles. As a matter of fact, the Wrigley family had much to do with the foundation of the weaving industry in England. Our Wrigley branch can be traced back to George Wrigley who was born in ca 1600. Cecilia was seven generations removed from the first known progenitor.
