The OP should have been given the same advice....................but clearly wasn't

I hope you manage to make contact, and that the book hasn't been disposed of

John Terry posted an email address on this post so i suggest you give that a try as this is an old thread and he may not see your message

My wife is Jean Chrstine Wright. Her father was Lawrence Underhill Wright, who was the brother of Frank Leonard Presland. Both of their mothers was Grace Wright. As Doris Bullen predeceased her husband Frank, and they had no children, it woulod appear the my wife would be the next of kin.

We would be very interested to see the book, or have a copy of the book please.

Hope to hear from you.

Thank you for all of this it has been very informative. Doris was obviously my mother in laws sister and with my husband and mother in law both now passed on (my husband was just 51 when he died) I have limited contacts to ask. I have it that she died in 1957 but do not have any real information. Thanks

He could 'possibly' have remarried in 1970 but I won't post details as it is
recent' and may not be him ? - Will pm them to you if you want the info.

No apparent children from the second marriage either.

It would be ice if the book could go to someone related to this man and if at the same time I could find what the link betwwen him and my husbands aunt was.

Thank you Gwyn my late husbands aunt Bet (Elizabeth) had the book and was born in 1924 I thought the gentleman in question may have been a boyfriend or he may have had something to do with her sister Doris Bullen who was born in 1916.

Hi Terry, you can try putting the name into the search box above to see if anyone on this site has them in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner. Cx
