Gary Report 6 Oct 2012 09:54

I am seeking information regarding my great-uncle, Charles Wright. He was born in 1895 in Sheffield & had three siblings - Florence, Jennie & Harry. He married Ethel Wake c1913 and had five children, Doris, Ethel, Charles, Betty & Harry. He served in WW1 with either the DLI or KOYLI and it is post-war that I have lost track of the family. They may have emigrated to Canada in the 1920s but I believe that there may be descendants living in Sheffield.

Any information would be much appreciated. As I live in New Zealand checking parish & local records is a lengthy process.

Gary.
