Richard Wright - UPDATE
My paternal grandfather's brother murdered his fiance, but I can't find any record of it!

Well, my one was supposed to have murdered his fiance 'cos he found out she was two-timing him. Got the death sentence, but then had it reduced to 30 years in prison, which he served and was then released. I cannot find anything out about it though, so wonder how true it was.

Oh dear Nell, it will be almost impossible to research, as I have such sketchy info about it. I am not even sure if the murder took place here in the UK or in France/Belgium! LOL His name is Richard Wright (known as Dick), brother of Robert Wright b1879. He was born in Harrogate, Yorkshire, don't know yet when. This murder took place either during or just after WW1 - he was a soldier in that. He had a gun still, so I am told, and shot her. Do not even know her name. My late Mum said he did 30 years in Maidstone prison (but Mum's memory was a bit bad! LOL). His parents were still living in Harrogate when all this happened.

If I'm looking at the right people in 1911 there's:
Robert 1879 Mabel 1886 Alfred Clifford 1908 Evelyn 1910 So no Richard by that date.....

Oh dear, sorry everyone. I made a complete mess of my post about this. I have been back and edited it. You have the correct Wright family, but Richard was the BROTHER of Robert Wright, therefore Mabel's brother-in-law. I am so sorry about that - don't know what on earth I was thinking of!
