Joan, are Ada and Gertrude their sisters or wives?
Do we take it from thread heading that born in Sheffield? (It only shows Sheff)

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.
