Brilliant  I have downloaded the photo of Frred WRIGHT in thr Besses band

I would still like to knpw if he served in the war if there is a way of fimding out.  The site for finding service records has so many Frsd Wrights.

I will come back to you later if I may ondates and addresses. We have been househunting today.  Edgar Wright is my father.   He served in the merchant Navy.

Thank you so much for your help.

Regards

Dave

It was just if you wanted to send any images as you did to NZ.  But let me know.

Ernest Godbert came  from a public house familly and later ran the Red Lion in Prestwich.  married Elizabeth Ellen Wright in 1915 in Salford and had three children Donald, Jack and Marjorie.

They retired to Cleveleys.

I'm guilty of marrying a Yorkshire Lass!

The Fred you mention(ed) is my uncle.  He was married to Edith Booth.  I know he was an engraver and later had a newsagents in Cromwell Rd.  He was a more than competant cornet player and played cornet in the Besses O' The Barn Band.
I know very little else but am writing a family history and he has just over half a page at present!

I understand that he and Ernest Godbert both served in WW1 but I am not 100% certain.
You had some info you sent to Lynbee removed from site for copyright reasons, otherwise I might have the information I am looking for!

I can supply my email address if you need it.

Regards

Hi
Lynbee was onto the wrong Laura Wright and I have now  pointed her in the right direction.
However I notice that you referred to Absent Voters Records giving Service numbers during WW1.  I would be very grateful if you could help with this.

I have Ernest Godbert, son in law of Cyrus Joseph Wright and I have Fred or Frederick Wright, son of CJW.  Both served in WW1 and I have no information on them.

CJW was my g/father and i have my father Edgar's war record.

I appreciate your help.

Incidentally I was born in Manchester and brought up in Middleton but now live iin Ripon.

Hello

i am trying to get in touch with poster Migky who had information on my family a year or so ago.

He had contacts re. Salford.

I followed up his comments re the family which were to help Lynbee of NZ, but the above family connection was not hers.  But it is MINE!!
(I was able to point Lynbee in the right direction)

How can I get in touch?

Hi Lyn
Further to my posting of yesterday,and re-reading your thread on the Wrights of Salford, I can confirm that you had my Wright family at Lower Broughton Road.  Annie married Richard Forrester, Fred married Edith Booth, Florence married James Willie Sharples, Elizabeth married Ernest Godbert, Laura marrid Wilfred Ainsworth and Edgar (my father) married Esther Bate.  So some of your replies in 2007 hit the mark.

I'd Love to know where your family fits in as I have no knowledge of New Zealand Connections!

Hope this reaches you.

I hope that this reaches Lynbee of NZ as I have information about Wright and Taylor of Salford.  I am a grandson of Cyrus Joseph Wright and have been researching the family for two years.  Please get in touch.
