Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 43 Send Message	I am still trying to find info about my maternal grandfather - John Thomas 'Wright - I have his marriage to Dorothy Ada Sawyer in Reading in 1917. They went on to have five children of whom my mum is the youngest. He and Dorothy separated around 1938 and he married again - tho I have no details about his second wife. He died in 1966 in Tonbridge. I am trying to find his date and place of birth - mum had no contact with him from the age of 5 and has no knowlege of his background. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Jo
