Still trying to find more information about William Wright born 1890 in Haggerstone, London. He then moved to Leigh-on-sea with his parents William Henry and Jane Wright with a brother Raymond Noel and sister Ivy. He joined the merchant navy I think - he ended up emigrating to Australia and ran a trading schooner - then had a building engineering co. in Brisbane. Think he probably died in the 1940's or 50's - don't know if he married and had children any ideas from anhyone?! thanks!!

I went to Kew today and was looking at merchant navy records. I found a William Wright, born London Christmas Day 1890. Is this your man?

Suggest you put "Australia" in your heading, as it seems it is that part of his life you are interested in.
