Sarah Thompson Wright

I would like information about Sarah Thompson Wright. All I know is her birth year and place (1822 in Ireland), death year and place (1874 in Philadelphia) and that she was married to Blythe Wright. (Blythe has also been spelled as Blyth and Blithe.) She had two children, Sarah Ann (1851-1852) and Mary Elizabeth (1856). Records show a George living with Sarah born in the 1840s (I do not have the exact date on me), who I assume was either a nephew or much younger brother.

I would like to know when she immigrated and who her parents were. Also, it interests me that she married an Englishman as it seems to me that England and Ireland were not friendly at that time. I would like to know if I can figure out why - were they both already here, was she Protestant (perhaps that helped?) etc. I'd also like to figure out once and for all if George was a younger (half?) brother or a nephew, and if he married an Eliza, because we do have a letter that mentions a George and Eliza.

Feel free to PM me any links you already have here on ancestry.com - census records, family trees, etc.
