In case you are not aware of this maybe NYC vital records can be found on www.stevemorse.org ...... There is even a marriage of a Lena in 1935.

James had a sister Lena, according to the 1930 census, maybe that's where the Lena connection came in? I don't know if Elisabeth's nickname may have been Lena although I never heard her referred to by any other name than Lizzie. Still trying to find out what happened to James and Lizzie and their family. Thanks for your help and information. Regards.

Hello, I am trying to piece together information on my late uncle Christopher Lawrence Wright who settled in the USA in the 1920s. I have recently been given a copy of his Registration Form from 1942. In order for me to pick up his trail, I wonder if anybody on the List can expand on the information gleaned from the form. Employers name and address :- BUEWIN, 685 West End Ave, NY. What was this business ? Places of residence :- 867 E 181st 1571 Sheridan Ave, BX. Could any information be gained from City Documents, Voters Registers etc. In England we have the Kellys or Gores Directories from which it is sometimes possible to trace a persons movements year by year. Do you have the same sort of directories. He died in 1964 in New York presumably in the Bronx, are there many cemeteries in that area. His wife Louise apparently came from Scotland and they appear together on the 1930 census but that is all I know about her. I would be grateful for any help or advice with the above. THank you, Regards, Ray, Wirral, England
