Otto Herlick Wright was born in Kingston upon Thames in 1874 - married in 1899. My Dad was Otto's Son - any relatives out there? I would love to know more - especially about my Grandmother, Otto's wife who I believe was named Ellen.

Lindsay and Julie - Thank you so much for all your help with this - and so quickly too! It was such a lovely surprise to find all this information waiting for me when I got home from work! I've got some work to do now - I think a trip to Bedfield may be planned in too!
My Dad was from Croydon - Mum was born in Fulham but after Dad was demobbed from WW2, they moved to the North West. I was born late in their lives and consequently there is a lot of family 'down South' that I have never met - often thought about trying to find out more about my roots, and you have given me the push I needed!
Kindest regards - and thanks again
