Thanks to all who replied.

I don't think I explained very well
I have marriage dates etc for Percy Wright and Beatrice Mellor
and for his son Colin Percy Wright |& Edna Speight.
What I need is any brothers or sisters or any other info would help.
I know Percy & Colin were in the Sheffield or surrounding area
but don't know before that.

Hi
Yes, Colin was Percy & Beatrice's son

I have a census form for 1891 which shows Percy age 3 which
could possibly be the one. It shows father as Frederick A - age 35,
Mother as Mary J. - age 35, and sisters Ethel (12), Maude (10),
and Hilda (5) as well as brother Herbert (8)
The parish is St.Phlips in Sheffield but he was born in Wombwell.

I will have to look at St. Philips records when I go to Sheffield
Archives. Thanks for your help
