Help find my grandparents
« on: Friday 08 January 16 21:48 GMT (UK) »
Please can anyone tell me if they know of Mary Wright formerly Cockroft of R.O.F Hostel, Ross Road and Harry Wright Sergeant 396881 Pioneer Corps? My Mum was adopted and these were the parents named on her birth certificate. A very hopeful Jo Brown

Thank you so much. I have tried all the usual sites but can only get so far without paying. I don't have the Funds to pay for them so I'm not getting very far with my search

Looking at FreeBMD there are three births between 1931-1938 with the surname Wright and mother's maiden name Cockcroft. I'll not post their names as they may still be alive and RootsChat have a living person policy. Possible siblings to your Mum?

Oh I hope so. My Mum was born 16.01.1942 in Hereford. Sadly she died of breast cancer in 1989. I have been desperate to find her birth family for many years  :)

The birth seems to be maiden name Cockroft, no middle c,   With mum in the Royal ordnance factory hostel for Rotherwas munitions plant.
