Harold Scott Wright

Mom, Myrna was their first child. Looks like she arrived 5 months after their marriage. 

Looks like his wife died 6 months before he did. His dad died when he was 13. His mother died when he was 20. Brent has his Harold for a middle name. Scott has his middle name for a first name.

He was a friendly man and very handy. He wore a mustache, combed his hair from back to front to cover his bald spot. Had an English accent and had a pigeon coop he was proud of.

WWII was bad news for their neighborhood. Bombs in London. They raised and killed rabbits for protein. Both he and his wife were short. Myrna was 5'1 1/2". Don't forget the half!

They were always active in the church that I know of. His wife had a squealy voice and wore the pants in the family. They drove to Sandy to visit us a couple of times. Grandma Wright sometimes sent $2 bills for our birthdays. She had a son just 9 months older than me, so she was tuned in to our ages. He was a machinist. I slept in a sleeping bag in their furnace room when I was 13 during December while dad looked for a house in New York State. Yep we spent Christmas with them that year. It is cold in Toronto at Christmas time.

Sandra asked me to document some of my ancestors.

This just turned out to be convenient because it is February and that was his birth and marriage month.
