Will W Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 My grandfather, Herbert Wright, was born in Sheffield in 1884. Immigrated to the U.S. around 1911 (Wallingford, CT) He had 6 siblings: Henry –born 1871 William 1875 Lily 1881 Herbert 1884 (my grandfather) Frank 1887 Bernard 1889 (died at 2 months) Walter 1895 Curious if there are descendants of this family still in Sheffield.
