Find Ancestors

First of all you must get this friend to write down everything she knows and also to ask all her family members for any dates names etc.

You really need the marriage cert of George and Mable to be certain of their father's names, otherwise it is all speculation.

It is impossible to do a tree without the purchase of some certificates I'm afraid.

As the first birth occurred just after the end of WW1 I wonder whether the children's mother may have been married before (A war widow perhaps) she married the Wright children's father.

But no marriage that I can see Jonesey

Thank you for your help the wright family does look promising But I'm waiting till my friend gets back and may be she has more info

George E P Wright born West Ham Suffolk is the right one

Not sure about the mother being married twice

apparently they had 5 children born in Norwich

I was hoping to find Their father George edward He was an Engineer fitter
Their mother was Kathleen Mary Theresa Branagan
They were living at 143 Argyle Road silverstown West Ham

Surely if he was born West Ham it should say Essex not Suffolk?


Was Kathleen Irish? when and where did she die?

jax ancestry always seem to have essex down as essex suffolk
it drive me crazy as it is very confusing for people that dont no the eara

If the George E P Wright born 1922 is correct and these are his siblings , they are born over a long period of time (26 years)
