Is your father his son and do you have his birth certificate?....if so, how is Jessie named? If you don't have it, what is his date of birth as I can look in the birth index for mother's surname to see if it is Wright or Dawson. |

Hmmmmm, the address in Hull does indeed show a Thomas Wright aged 12 living there, along with lots of other children from various places around the country. The adults in the house are described as sisters of mercy, so I guess it was some sort of childrens home. All the kids are around 12 - 13 years though, so the plot is thickening. |

Hi, was just searching 1901 census and there is a Thomas Wright who is at a school in Sculcoates, Yorkshire at the age of 12 who is from London. Could this be him? |

I wonder if anyone can help - I have been trying to trace details about my Grandfather for a long time - I have a little information on him, but don't seem to be able to get anywhere. |
