Wright Emerson
- Grimsby
George William Wright bn abt 1887 Grimsby son of George Wright & Betsey Osborn apparently married Elizabeth Emerson & had 2 daughters Ivy born 1914 & May Irene born 1917 who I know were both born in Grimsby.
The problem is I can't find a marriage for George William & Elizabeth but have previous marriages for both - George William in 1907 to Emily Ball & Elizabeth in 1903 to Harry Samuel Watts Brown. Neither of the 1st spouses appear to have died & I also have both George William & Elizabeth with their 1st spouses on 1911 census, so whatever happened, it was pretty quick.
Does anyone have these people in their tree? Can you shed any light on this? Maybe I have the wrong George William Wright & have somehow got my wires crossed?? Thanx Linda
