William Forbes Wright was my Uncle KIA Sept 1917
The William Wright you mentioned in Rothesay has the wrong occupation but your previous note re, the 1901 Census has it correctly stated EXCEPT for the year of birth. In the 1911 Census he is there in Caputh with his Dtr in Law along with her family.
Thank you very much for your help. Try as I might I cannot find his death records . He had his first son John Grant Wright (Father of W Forbes Wright) living in Newcastle upon Tyne and I had thought he might have died in England. Searches have proved fruitless.
