Dawn: In among my papers I have an Alfred born c. 1881 son of Frederick Wrighton and Mary Peckover. Fred was the son of Joseph W. and Mary Ann Franklin. Joseph was the fourth son of William Wrighton and Mary Hartlett. Joe born 4 Aug. 1811, Fred born 1845. Does that fit with what you know? A man born in 1881 would be the right age to be in the Army in 1915 and the War Graves Commission says his age is unknown. BUT I also have (courtesy of Sybil Humphris Stevens) an Alfred Wrighton married to Minnie Cross and he was killed in action on 17 Aug. 1916. They had Frederick Charles born 9 Jan 1910 and Dennis Bertram b. 9 Feb. 1913. Regards, Barbara.
