William and Emma Wright (Census Available) - More info needed
« on: Monday 07 January 19 10:34 GMT (UK) »

Arthur Douglas Wright (Son) - 2
Emma Wright (Daughter) - 10
Lilian Dilworth (Sister) - 15 - Daily Girl (?) - Linen Diapers (or maybe Drapes?)


The fathers ages seem to be inconsistent so they might not all be the same family?

Please see above images I have to work with.

I am looking to see if anyone can help me find any more information about anyone on the paperwork.

I am most interested in the first son, who I believe to be my great grandfather.

More information: William Wright was born around 1891 and would move to Australia (not sure when or how), and change his name to "James Gregory Mason" by the late 1920's when he would have children with "Ada Amelia Branson".

I am trying to find any record of their crossing over into Australia, or any information about William or Emma that can lead me to any more information about their life.

Those images are hard to read.  You would be better transcribing them or giving us the references

I have done 1901 for you

It is always better to put transcripts on here rather than links to 'your pages' .  We like to have the information in front of us and not to keep switching to other places.

Thankyou for all the help with the above information, I will do some research into how I use the info to obtain the documents (first time user).

edit: I've found the GRO website and where to enter all the information! Woo!

What evidence do you have that this is the William (1891) you have in Australia.

I have the cemetary death notice here for James Gregory Mason, showing his original name was William Wright.

I also found his marriage certificate to Ada Amelia Branson stating that William Wright had parents named William and Emma Wright and was born in 1891.

It might not be 100% solid evidence, but it's really the best I've been able to find.
