Archibald (Archie) Pickin Wright & Edith (Eda) Mercer 
This picture, 'Archie & Edie Wright', was taken about 1923 and sourced from Individual - Sue Robinson (nee Doxey).
- Picture Notes
- Archie (top left) over picture of Edith, with her two daughters, Edith and Margaret.
The photo is lovely. It's of Sue's Auntie Edie and her 2 girls Janet and Edith but one might be May who died not sure and of course Uncle Archie in 1st World War uniform. Doesn't he look stressed and tired. You can see the horror of War in his eyes, it is so moving.

Wright Albert Mercer Salford 8d 331Death Notes
Three albret Wrights who were all born 1911-1912 died in Birkenhead in 2002. Was this Albert one of them ?
No records of Albert Wright dieing soon after birth (1912-20), so if he survived, then perhaps he is from another family.
