Hi Lionel,

So that we can help in the right direction - What, more specifically, are you hoping to obtain information on in regards to John and his 2 daughters?

His parents, his siblings??
His wife, their mother?
Their husbands? their children?
Census? BDM?

Cheers

Wybray Adams, wife 28 b Leicestershire
Joseph Wright 72 lodger b Bringhurst, Northants
Edith A Adams, 3 b Oxford

i just re-read his service file and the part where it says his wife is dead is actually dated nov 1919 so it could be possible that is his wife
