Find Ancestors

Er a HUGE thankyou to Eavie Beavie and Margaret Manson and Lewella for all your welcome help.

I appreciate it all,your all STARS,

Thanks....Sam

Actually, now that you mention it, Margaret, I knew that, although I didn't realize it -- from enrolment records I'm familiar with, it was the mother, true!

The Sask vital records database doesn't show deaths for Charles or Annie up to 1938.


Yup, that's the 1901 list I got at Ancestry, and the kids whose births are shown there.

Don't know why I couldn't find them earlier!
1901 census

Wright Charles M Head M Jun 8 1863 37

Wright Robert W. M Son S Sep 21 1887 13

Wright Fred S. M Son S Oct 9 1890 10

Wright Katie D. F Daughter S May 17 1893 7

Wright Alfred D. M Son S Jan 15 1899 2

Original says immigrated 1888.
Last 3 children born Ontario.

Evie, they usually give mother's name as next-of-kin rather than father's unless mother is deceased.

First Name: LILLIAN MAY
Sex: F
Birth Date (yyyy/mm/dd): 1904 / 5 / 28

If Annie was next of kin when Robert enlisted, that would likely mean Charles had died.

--- no, duh! Charles was alive and well in the 1911. Oops.

He died at Vimy.

1911 census
Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan

Wright Charles 12-15-6 W2 M Head M Jun 1862 48
Wright Annie F Wife M May 1867 44
Wright Robert W M Son S Sep 1888 23
Wright Rose A F Daughter S Nov 1886 25
Wright Alfrid D M Son S Jan 1900 11
Wright Lillian M F Daughter S May 1904 7

Original says they emigrated 1888. Alfrid born Ontario, Lillian Saskatchewan.

They must have moved on West after the 1901!

That's certainly the right Robert, I'd say.

Here they are in the 1901 at Ancestry (again, no details for me):

Charles Wright
Annie
Ontario, Ottawa (City/Cité), city
dob 1863

And then, searching for Wrights in Ottawa with parents Charles and Annie:

Albert Wright 1885
Rosallis Wright 1886
Robert W Wright 1887
Fred S Wright 1890
Kalie E Wright 1893
Alferd D Wright 1899

Canadian records transcription at Ancestry is notoriously horrible ...


Maybe you can find them at automatedgenealogy using that info.

A Robert William Wright enlisted for WW1 in Val Cartier, Quebec. He was born 1887, Frant, Sussex, England. Next-of-kin, mother, Mrs. C. Wright. Broadview, Saskatchewan. His occupation baker.

Oh dear! A Robert William Wright was killed in the war, 24 May, 1915. Doesn't give any other info but he was in the Saskatchewan Regiment.

Do you have the births in Canada?

I don't subscribe so can't see details. You can still search the database -- if you "guess" a factor right, like parents' names, it will show in the search results.

Hopefully, someone with access will give you the details, if you don't have them.

Were they still in Canada in 1901? That census gives year of immigration but I can't find them on it.
