James (Jim) Charles Wright and Eva Wright - Leeds

Trying to find any information on James(also known as Jim) Wright and his wife Eva Wright last known address was at Beeston Park Terrace, Beeston in Leeds. Jim had a sister Jean Mary Wright who married Henry Koros and they lived in another area of Leeds.
Jim and Eva at sometime shared a house with Jim's mother Caroline Wright at a address on Beeston Park Terrace, Beeston, Leeds and was known to be living at this address until at least 1975 or even past that year.
Jim may have once been a local bus driver.
I don't have any more personal details on Jim and Eva unfortunately and are unsure if they passed away or are still alive, but are presumed to have remained in Leeds
We are desperate to find out any information, connections or their whereabouts, they would both be elderly now. Have no date of births or ages for them. Perhaps they could be in a old peoples home or hostel.
If anyone can help trace them, it would be so greatly appreciated. We are living in Australia and don't know where to begin trying to find them in the U.K. with the very little info we have. They may possibly be or been the last of my fiances family on his mothers side.

With out and dates this will be like looking for a needle in a haystack

Without some sort of time-scale.........a search would be almost impossible

Have you no idea?

You mention their last-known address....in what year(s) were they there?

Just hoping that someone may recognise their names or know them from the address. My fiance's family became divided when his father re-married not long after his mother tragically passed away. My fiance was only 9 years old when his family became divided and his father re-married and shipped my fiance off to Australia to start a new life and the relatives left in the U.K. were never mentioned of again and all communications were eventually cut off

Have now found out about James(Jim)Charles Wright. He was born on 8 March 1916 and died in the month of January 2002 in Leeds the district code being (according to death record) 0921K. I am presuming it may be in the Beeston area,where the family lived for many years.
Is there some way of finding the cemetary or crematorium that he may be in, in Leeds without making dozens of phone calls as we live in Australia?

We are delighted to have finally found Jim's wife Eva as well as two of their daughter's in Leeds after loosing contact with the family well over 30 years ago. We had a wonderful reunion on our trip from Australia to the U.K one month ago.
Now we just need to find a long lost missing brother Paul Koros ( see trying to find board) and the family will be complete.
