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

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


Was Kathleen Irish? when and where did she die?

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

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.

Mabel not Mable! There's this one in Norwich:

A bit young maybe? Like Rutlandbelle says, you need more info from your friend!

this is the only George E P Wright born 1922

Name: George E P Wright
Mother's Maiden Surname: Branagan
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1922
Registration district: West Ham
Inferred County: Suffolk
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 396

and as you see not reg in Norfolk but Suffolk

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.
