	Japan is a hard glossy black metal coating (like some woodscrews) I assume a japanner was a person that applied this coating

	Marc how did you find this info ahd does it give his dads date of birth

	Go to www.familysearch.org, hit search then put in Wrights name and year of birth which is listed as 1861. Change country to England. This gives you his fathers name and mothers first name. Doesn't give you much info but every little helps. Doesn't give you his fathers date of birth or age unfortunately.
