Member Since: December 2006 Posts: 0 Send Message	I am looking for more information on my great great grandfather. His name was Robert Wright and he was born c1852. He was coxswain of the Fleetwood lifeboat (Lancashire) and received a Silver Lifeboat medal for 30years service in 1894 but sadly drowned the same year in 'the great storm'. I know he had at least one daughter (Mary Wright born c1890) but have little information about his parents, siblings and other children. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
