Find Ancestors

His fathers name was Henry (not unusual I realise)

The marriage, emigration to NZ and death was looking a possibility until the name George appeared.

I guess I will have to give up on him and move on.

Thanks for everybodys help.

John

(looks good Choccy, but not sure where the George comes from!)

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 (Ancestry)

(as stated for above)

(Registers were not published during the latter years of World War 1 (1916–1917) or World War 2 (1940–1944))

It could be Chris Ho.

I am getting side-tracked now, why cannot I not find Laurence John Wrights death in freebmd?

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

(not sure if that 1943 Lawrence Death is the Laurence John on above, 1944 (died 13 December 1943)

Think Search is picking up on below...(Wright and Lazarus)

Wright Lazarus — — 1919 The London Gazette, Supplements August 1914 - January 1920 —

I wonder about this one

L Wright
in the New South Wales, Australia, Unassisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1826-1922

Age: 23
Port of Departure: Suva
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 1 Apr 1885

If he did he must have been killed as he does not appear in 1891, 1901 or 1911

Maybe he joined up there was the first boar war

First Boer War/Period

Not picking him up tho after the 1871 census . Not showing too on the 1939 register

But where has he gone?

He has left home by 1881
