Divorced but buried together?? Alfred Wright

[Rosinish]

the "49 year old Alfred" was living at Cooper Street, Gorton. 
I need to find out where he was born, who his marriage was to and who the 12 and 13 year dependents were (there were no names on the 1921 census). Not much to go on..

What a confusing thread...

Can you tell us how you arrived at the "49 year old Alfred in 1921", what is the connection which led to him?

Where was he born according to the 1921 census?

It looks as though he was not married to the lady who was 'boarding' there in 1921 but I suspect that it was their daughter also at the property

I also posted that one earlier, Rosie. I think celtickids was searching for Pearsons previously so I thought it might be relevant.

Sorry I totally missed that birth registration you posted earlier

In the 1921 census, there's a 49 year old Alfred Wright living in Gorton but he was showing as divorced, having been married for 13 years. He was shown as having two dependent children aged 12 and 13

Where do the years married and ages of children come from? Have you seen the image of the census or just a transcript?

[heywood]

Looking at 1921 indexes, Alfred Wright of Cooper Street is indeed ‘divorced’.
However, he looks to be with Annie and Constance so not those two nameless 12 and 13 yr olds.

There is this entry in 1911 which, if not our couple, is most coincidental.

Alfred, though, is not married at that time.

Do you know his occupation?

Does it give any details regarding his Divorce?

Did he have a middle name?

Probably not who you are looking for but there is this person named Alfred Wright

I must be looking at a record for another divorced Alfred Wright age 49 in Cooper Street, but I cannot see he has a dependent 12 year old. The record I'm looking at has an interesting footnote written by Alfred.
