Hi Nivardi, There definitely were 2 Alfred Wrightons one was the info you gave me. The other had a totally different number and is listed in a different cemetery. They are both on our Village war memorial. There are a total of 5 Wrightons 2 of each were brothers and each set of brothers were 1st cousins to the other set of brothers, all 4 had the same grandparent , my gg gf. The other is a lone one that was born in Halton Warks. But everything else is Aynho if we could find parents, could then tie him back to the village.
