Hi All
Willlam Henry Wrack was an adopted child who was married on 30/12/1922 at St Georges Scunthorpe. His wife was Lily. He was adopted sometime before 1901. He died on 22/3/1938 at the memorial hospital Scunthorpe. At the time he was listed at being 45.
Any help or information I would be grateful

Wrong surname, wrong age, wrong middle initial, wrong part of the country ...
So probably a complete red herring!
But maybe worth a look

I would have thought that WRACK would have been the name he "acquired" from adoptive parents rather than the name he was born with.
I can see a William H WRACK aged 12 in 1901, born and living in Ashby, he was in the same place in 1891. I can't see a William H WRACK in the birth index though.

Is that commensurate with his age at marriage?
What is the evidence for his "adoption"?

Hi PaulineJ
I have this information from my cousin in Scunthorpe. I was hoping to help find his birth for her. I have not seen the marriage certificate so do not know his age on it. The surname of Lily was Morley. I found this out after putting the message on Rootschat. This is only hearsay from the family in Scunthorpe.
Many thanks for your help
Sheila
