Re you sure about that death Margaret

As Chris posted earlier the only George right who died in Bolton in 1917 was age 68

Hello Margaret, it would be better if it can be kept 'here', then other helpers are able to add too...

If your sister has the Marriage Cert. and can let us know details for father of George, that will be a big help.

(don't worry if you can't reply straight away, just add back here when you can!)

Chris :)

Chris, to confirm the info I have on George Wright - born 1868 in Cambridge - married in 1898 to Minnie - and died in 1917 in Bolton Workhouse aged 49yrs. Is this the same person you are describing. I am actually helping my sister with this as she isn't signed up to genesreunited - would you be willing to communicate with her via email? it would be easier for you and she to work directly rather than through a third party. If you agree to this then reply here and I will provide her email address for you. If you don't want to we can carry on as now - thanks for your help so far. margaret
