Are you sure that was 1901 Stella?

I've just done an address search for 1901 on FMP and looked at 60 addresses on Chatsworth Place. They're not there.

Richard was the BROTHER of Robert Wright
lol I wish I had come back to this thread at 9.30 last night!! (ie before trawling the newspapers again for AFTER 1939!)

Marg, Richard is already in the overseas military in 1911. Can you have a look to see if there's any indication of his regiment or anything?

I'm wondering if this medal card is his?

Richard Wright
1st West Yorkshire Regiment
8145
4523662

Mainly because it's the only one that has dates before 1914 and is also 1st West Yorks.

Not that knowing those numbers has helped anywhere else as yet!!

Oh thank you all for taking a look at this, and I am so sorry Margaret and everyone for wasting your time at the beginning. I honestly think it is a hopeless task trying to find out about this murder, as I was told about it by my late mother and it's possible she got a lot of her facts wrong. I do remember going to see this Richard with my father - his nephew, Alfred Wright b1908 when I was very young - he had, I believe just got out of prison and was back in Harrogate.

Doesn't look as if he died in Harrogate.
