I'm trying to find out info about my grandparents - William Henry Wright and Clara ellen florence rhoda (nee James?) and i've no idea of dobs(circa 1900?) or place of births but eventually settled in Bridgend south wales. Their children - Bryn, Anne, Terry, Gerald and my mother Dorothy Grace(born 1926) any info would be most appreciated

Tony, have you tried the freebmd site? The above was really easy to find and it's very satisfying to do so yourself. Give it a go!
