Unable to trace a single member of my Father's family

Selina not Selena OC!

I've seen that Selina with her parents, John and Mary, in 1861 and 1871.

Oh, and I.have written down the correct spelling too! Grrr.

1901 Census:

Arthur J Wright head m 42 Brassworkers draughtsman b West Bromwich Staffordshire
Arthur Wright son 10 - b Bordesley Warwickshire
Reginald Wright son 3 - b Erdington Warwickshire

So, no wife in the house, wrong middle initial but otherwise looking promising.

This looks to be Reginald's birth reg - (presumably a mis-spelling for the mother's maiden name)


WRIGHT, REGINALD OSBERT
mmn MOLYNEAN
GRO Reference: 1897 D Quarter in ASTON Volume 06D Page 374

So, I'd say they are the right family!

Can you see them in 1911, with Edwin?

I don't have a worldwide sub, but Reginald Osbert Wright appears on the Ontario Canada marriage index.

There is a tree on Ancestry which has Reginald's mother as Selina Alice Corin (not Wright or Molyneux). I think this is because there is a Selina Wright nee Corin, widow, on the 1911 census, but I don't think she has anything to so with these people. We know Arthur Henry's wife was Selina Alice Wright and, presumably the two sons were born to another lady - Mary Molyneux. I wonder where she was in 1901?

I wonder if anyone can find Arthur Henry on any Canadian census?

Sorry OC, I missed your post. They may have gone to Canada by then. I will have a look.

There is an index entry for an Edwin Molyneux Wright on the Canadian 1911 census - other family member …..Mary! But I don't have a sub to view.

Hmm, there is this family on the 1911 Canadian census - link to ancestry but I think it is available for free elsewhere, will look for that in a minute:

I've just realised, someone has added the middle name, so that might not be the right person.

EDIT _ Ignore this, see previous post by kiterunner.
