Wright & Taylor, Salford, Lancs

[Mr. MIGKY]

Hi

I have Ernest Godbert, son in law of Cyrus Joseph Wright and I have Fred or Frederick Wright, son of CJW.  Both served in WW1 and I have no information on them.
Incidentally I was born in Manchester and brought up in Middleton but now live iin Ripon.

So what did you do that was so bad they shipped you off to Ripon

I would need a few more details to stand a chance of finding anything?
Did spot a Fred wright who was an engraver born 1879 living at 13 Vincent street Broughton on the 1913 directory but does not seem to show up on the 1918 AVL?
He married an Edith Booth in Salford 1903, but i need to know this is your man befor i can look further? Just a name is just to hard to look for.
Not had chance and won't get chance tonight to look for Ernest, will do tomorrow if more detail from you.

By the way, how do you know they both served WW1?

I'm guilty of marrying a Yorkshire Lass!

The Fred you mention(ed) is my uncle.  He was married to Edith Booth.  I know he was an engraver and later had a newsagents in Cromwell Rd.  He was a more than competant cornet player and played cornet in the Besses O' The Barn Band.
I know very little else but am writing a family history and he has just over half a page at present!

I understand that he and Ernest Godbert both served in WW1 but I am not 100% certain.
You had some info you sent to Lynbee removed from site for copyright reasons, otherwise I might have the information I am looking for!

I can supply my email address if you need it.

Regards

My email address is on my profile
Not sure if that is a good enough excuse for going over to the dark side   (Ripon)

It was just if you wanted to send any images as you did to NZ.  But let me know.

Ernest Godbert came  from a public house familly and later ran the Red Lion in Prestwich.  married Elizabeth Ellen Wright in 1915 in Salford and had three children Donald, Jack and Marjorie.

They retired to Cleveleys.
