I can't find him anywhere. Is it possible that he was in the army and away in the Boer War? This could be a reason why he ended up in the south as it is where some of the troops would come back to after the war (my grandfather did and married in Farnham, Surrey).

Kathleen,
Thanks for looking for him..
I have searched the boer war amnd other army on FMP but he is nowhere on there.
Looks like I am going to have to leave him for now and go back to him later.
Thanks

This looks like the military record:
John Arthur Wright
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1881
Age at enlistment: 17
Birth Parish: York
Birth County: Yorkshire
Document Year: 1898
Regimental Number: 4258
Regiment Name: York
Number of images: 6
I'll download the 6 images and PM them to you. Haven't looked at anything other than the enlistment yet.
|
|
OK, have tried to PM you the 3 images which are legible but I'm not sure if they have gone through. You won't find him in 1901 as he was posted to Africa on 28/2/1900 - so presumably to the Boar war.
If the images don't come through PM your e-mail address & I'll send that way.
|
|
Flip,
That looks like him Flip.
will await the images
Thanks for looking
|
|
They should have come through by now, I'll try again.
|
|
No problem, glad to have helped!

I guess you have this birth, and as you know John was dischared in 1902 so may (or may not) have been his father before their marriage - who knows??.
Births Jun 1903 (>99%)

CROSOER Filmer Lushington Dover 2a 1122
What a name to saddle a baby with!!!
OOPS, didn't realise Filmer was a christian name, never heard of it so sorry to all you Filmer's out there
:-) :-)
|

Hi Flip.
Yes Filmer Lushington Crosoer as above birth we think is John Arthur's child (not got birth cert yet) but he is with them on the 1911 census in Leeds.
Think he was the easiest one to find out od the children.

Have you found a marriage for Minnie? Image states they have been married 2 years with one child who has died.
added: I'm not convinced either trancription is right - have you looked at the original, it looks more like Best to me. And the marriage in 1908 has him as Charley Best on the image.
|
|
Yes it is Best when I magnified the image so have let FMP know a transcription error.they will more than likely look at it and put the surname right in about a month.
The only marriage I have found for Violet is one in 1 Dec qtr 1920.,she would have been 17 to a Richard Atkinson
There another 2 but they are in 1944 and 1950.
|
|
Are you descended from John Wright? Looks like he had a busy time in 1902 after getting out of the army, fathering (probably) one child born Q2/1903 and then another in Q3. Must have been all that time in Africa. :-D
|
|
No I am not a descendant,
I am doing this research for a very close friend of mine and John Arthur Wright is
her mother's great uncle.
My friend wanted to find out about her family as it's quite interresting what info we have found.
I have already done her father's side of the family and she wanted me to have a look at her mother's side. so that is where John Arthur Comes into it.
Yes he must have been a busy little bee.
Think he may have done a runner from Leeds and then come back just before the 1911 Census.
Bet he didn't know about Violet until well after she was born.
