Hi everyone- I'm looking for any info on Robert James Wright. He was born c. 1849 in Marlacoo, Ireland. Records when his mother died (1878) said he was living in Gateshead, Durham, Eng. He went to Queensland, Australia by 1886. I have been unable to find immigration records in Australia.
He was the son of James Wright and Sarah (Hamill) Wright. He had several brothers, Francis, maybe Samuel and John William. John William was in Queensland, Australia by 1875. I know nothing about Francis who also went to Queensland or Samuel.
I have no idea when Robert James went to England or when he left. I don't know if he was married there or had a family. I know he had one illigetimate son in Australia, but I don't know of any wife or children there. He died in 1923 in Queensland, Australia.
Any help would be appreciated.
