Joan, are Ada and Gertrude their sisters or wives?
Do we take it from thread heading that born in Sheffield? (It only shows Sheff)
What do you know for sure? Parents? Birth dates? anything that might help

That was the Horatio Wright death I had wondered about last night:

Deaths Dec 1878
WRIGHT Horatio 13 Hull 9d 160


Since he was still young, the death certificate might name his parents, or one might be the informant.
