Frank Herbert Wright
« on: Friday 04 April 14 16:29 BST (UK) »
There is a 51 year old English born Frank Herbert Wright on the 1921 census in 769 Cambri district of Vancouver. His wife is listed as Frank Ida Wight (and it does look like that  ;D) He is supposed to have been in Canada since 1889,and his wife is American.

I am having no luck finding him before or after that date- can anyone help please.

The one I am trying to find was born in Kentish Town London in 1870 and appears on the 1871 and 81 UK census and then vanishes. The chap turning up in Canada looks a good bet,but I can't see him again.

I've tried the BC death and marriage indexes and had no luck either.

Many thanks

Carol
