Well - I am over the moon. The lady in the photo on Linda S's FB page is actually the Nancy Wright. I had not hoped to find either of the parents alive. Poor dad died 5 years ago and now Nancy is thrilled that I have found her and remembers me etc etc.
Linda has two brothers and one sister. All in Oz apart from Tony who is in Scotland.Thanks to everyone. A real happy ending!!! :-D

Glad to hear they accepted your friend request :-)

Linda has now accepted my friend request as her daughter Michelle is sure she is the right one. The J.S in London is her father in law and it is his birthday today! Linda has not yet messaged me. I am hoping that she is phoning her mother if she still has her marbles it would be great. Looks like this will have a happy ending - thanks to everybody who has contributed to completing the jigsaw. Big time difference is not helping. jen

I will soon know if I am barking up the wrong tree - or just plain barking! The said Michelle has accepted my FB friend request and I have just messaged her.
Watch this space!!! :-D

Now then - Melbourne John could be L's son but her husband is called John too! The London one - if old enough could be a cousin or relative of Linda's husband if they have their pics showing themselves we could judge the ages to help us. I blame FB for hiding people's messages in "other folders" instead of showing them. People have these silly little screens on phones and can't see properly. There is still the possibility that I have chosen the wrong Linda Wright to investigate in the first place. Oh why do we put ourselves through this? J :-(

John who lives in Melbourne he has three friends with the surname Wright

Edit - The one who lives in London also has Linda as a friend so maybe that is her son??? Oh its getting confusing now :-D

Hi Patchem, possibly Nancy went to the Hampstead hospital if she had complications with the confinements - also post war baby boom could account for having to go further from home. I had no knowledge of any of Nancy's kids until I started this investigation. FB is giving out lots of clues isn't it.
Hi Jax, are you looking on FB at John Slight in military as being L's son - so it would be uncle Tony for him. I think my only option now is to write another letter to a couple more SLights in Melbourne from the Oz white pages. There are two on the same street to have a go at. I onl did the Croydon Sth one up to now. I have turned into a maniac!
Thanks both.
Jennifer :-S

Tony is a possible sibling as Linda's son has him as a friend also

The only reason I thought Susan would be the younger one is because she has a 21 year old daughter...plus Linda also says happy birthday to her in July which would fit with the birth reg

Have you looked to see if there was a marriage that could explain the 2 Hampstead births?
It would easily fit in that there were 2 sons, in the middle of the 2 daughters, but did you have knowledge of them at all?

Only suggestions for possible brothers for Linda J Wright are Tony Wright born Hampstead (next to Hendon) in June 1952 and a Peter J Wright born in Hampstead in Sept 1955 - and then along comes Susan A in Sept 1961

It just confirmed the lunch with Mother and sister.

You just have to keep working down through the facebook entries to get to it.

Hi Patchem. Don't know if I read the removed posting of 30 Nov that you mention. Could you PM it to me please?

jenVG

jenVG Report 30 Nov 2013 17:34

Oh - thanks. I'll have a look later - but maybe I wont have access. Off to the curry house for daughter in law's birthday. I'll let you know if anything develops.

Looks like her son is also on FB and he has a friend called Susan Wright but no photo of her

Yes that's the one I looked at

Yes I have - but she may have blocked me as she does not know me. Are you looking at the Linda Slight who has trees for her profile as I can't see anything about lunch out last year? Jen
