Not sure if anyone can help with this one but I’d be grateful for any suggestions. I’ve posted before about John Henry Wright who married Florence French but always drawn a blank. I have them on a passenger list to New York City 18th Dec 1882. They then disappear! On re-visiting this brickwall I found this on Family Search John Henry Wright 1919 Blandford Cemetery, Petersburg, Petersburg City, Virginia. I’m wondering if there’s any way I can find out if he’s mine. The DOB is about right. Many thanks.
Find a Grave has this as: John Henry WRIGHT 19th November 1839 to 7th April 1919. Could this be your chap? If so, the FaG has a photograph of the gravestone. Edited to add: Ah... I see that Family Search has that dob and a link through to FaG...
Scroll down further on Family Search and it brings you to the death certificate, which you can click through to the original. This gives details of his father being W J WRIGHT, born Va and mother Martha SMELLEY b Va. Informant was Mrs J H WRIGHT
