    Default George wright

    Hi
    Looking for my grandfather George Wright.
    Know very little about him. He was not married to my grandmother Agnes Brown McLean.

    All I know of him is on my mothers birth certificate which is as follows:

    Moyra McLean Wright
    5th October 1939
    Tower hill Road, Glasgow

    Agnes Brown McLean
    Hairdresser

    George Wright
    Tramcar Motorman
    (Bandsman: 1st Battn.
    Glasgow Highlanders)

    My mother was told he was a drummer in the army.
    I presume he was born in Scotland ( being in Glasgow Highlanders)
    And he must have been born some where between 1890 and 1920
    that's all I have so hope someone can help.

    I know this can be a sensitive issue as he may have had a family and no doubt did in the future

    Thanks

    Fiona

    You could also enter his name in the Forces War Record banner at the top of this page.

    I have used this for many years for services records.

    It is slow and expensive but you get all the detail

    Would like to ask again if anyone has info. My mother is 74 and as a child didn't want to know about her father but now that I am finding info on other lines in our family she thinks she would like to find out about him.
    I know it is a sensitive issue but would appreciate some help ��
