I was a member on Ancestry for a year. This subcribtion was brought as a Christmas present for me. Unfortunatley I had to end my membership due to the cost. Since then I have received a message from Ancestry from a member roumiafamily about a cousin of my Grandfather Wm.Geo.Henry Wright called Benjamin Thomas Kay. I have only been able to trace my Grandfather as far as 1921. Can anyone help me to contact  roumiafamily to tell them I am unable to contact them by Ancestry.com. My contact name was ington. Is there anyway I could contact them please. Thank you, Margaret

My Grandfather William, George, Henry Wright married at the age of 18 and went to France in World War 11. He returned in 1918 after suffering Shell Shock and  lived with his wife who was several years older than himself. He went up to Middlesbrough to find work and after two months married another woman. As a result she was pregnant when his legal wife went searching for him. William was arrested and sent for trail at York Assizes and sentenced to 9 months for bigamy. The headlines in the press read , Remarkable Case at York Assizes. Youth had two wives at 20.
Sorry to say I cannot find which prison he was sent to or what became of him after discharge. The baby, my Mother was put up for adoption and she died in 1975 never knowing her Birth name or reason`s for being adopted.
I have found the legal wifes Grandchildren from her second marriage but no one has ever heared about the bigamist.

Hi, Jacquie,
Thanks for your help.  I am certainly showing my age. I need a new pair of glasses along with a new knee joint in the near future!

Can anyone tell me the meaning of having four posts on the site before being able to use PM. Does it mean four differant subject posting`s or just four postings on the same inqulry.

Sorry for being so dumb. I will put it down to age!

Thanks,

Hi, KarenM,

How great are you. So the Laurie/Lowery went to Canada in 1910. What a great find. Am I correct in that Florence is down as an Actress? I wonder what kind!!! Very hard to make out some of the words. I would love to read what all the legal stuff is at the top of the page and the meaning.

As William has been found wondering around at border points he must have arrived around the same time.

I can hadley believe the information I am receiving.

I did post a bit of a item about your Father`s name. But I don`t know if it was posted. So here goes again. Gandley is a well known name around Co, Mayo. There was a great Fiddle Player and there is a wall plaque in his name on a Wall near Arlow Abby ?spelling near Toorrean, Ballyhaunis, Co. Mayo, Ireland. The name Ganley/Gandley are connected . Wonderful spot.
Just a little information.

AandE.

Hi, Erato,

No I have no idea about why he wanted to get to Buffalo.
I had no details of him after the 1901 census until his war records. Then his marriage to Ruth Tysoe and the Bigamist marriage to Annie, May Price in 1918. Then sent to prison 1918. Nothing after this. No trace. Also no trace of his Step father and Mother after their marriage in May 1901.

William`s War record led me to believe he was in Toronto at some time before the War. I then found his Grandparents had also gone to Toronto ? sometime after 1901.

So all that you have found is wonderful. It makes him come alive for me.  :)I have traced my Father`s Family Tree back to 1100 as they stayed in the same area. But my Mother was a mystery. As I have said she died without ever knowing her birth name.

In my hunt for William I have tracked down relatives of his first wife. They knew nothing and the other lead was by way of the Lowery line [his Mother`s]. But no luck there.

I have had so much from you all on Rootschat and I am very, very grateful.

AandE.
Ps. I have only found one Lillian [Lily] Lowery and she died soon after birth.

Hi, Karen,

I have the date for Albert`s  marriage to Colton. He is connected to the person in Texas.
I had not got Florence or any information about the death of Benjamin or Elizabeth Lowery. I would be very pleased for you to send them to me.
Thank you. AandE.
