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
