Name - "official" name and what they were known as William Wright
Date and place of birth Don't know
Names of parents John Wright and unknown
Date and place of baptism - if applicable Not found
Details of each of his or her marriages - if any 25 Oct 1700 at Colinton / Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland, to Janet King. Son of John Wright of Burdiehouse. James Tweddy stood for him.
Occupation(s) - if any Farmer
Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!).

Date, place and cause of death 1746 Burdiehouse, Liberton, Midlothian
Date and place of burial. 24 Feb 1746 Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland
Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable
Inventory dated 1 Aug 1750, made and given up by Janet King relict of James Denholm farmer in Blackfoord and others - I think this is a mistake and it is supposed to say Janet King relict of William Wright, Helen Wright relict of James Denholm, etc.
His Disposition dated the 24th April 1741 and registered 12th March 1746 leaves his house in Burdiehouse and another house and land, charter, and stock, to son John Wright, and everything else to his daughters with a life interest to spouse Janet King. Executors Janet King and their daughters.

There are a few possible baptisms, including one 29 Jun 1666 at Liberton, son of John Wright and Eupham Will and one 21 Dec 1684 at Bo'ness, West Lothian, son of John Wright and Christian Scot. Going by the names of William and Janet's children, his mother's name should be Christian or possibly Isobel.
There are few details on the burial record but I assume it is the right one as the inventory and testament dative says he died in 1746.
