Debbie, Many thanks, Joseph Wright Dungate (senior) was my great grandfaher, Joseph Wright Dungate his son who married Elizabeth was my great uncle, a younger brother Wright Dungate was my grandfather. He had 3 sons, Wright who was killed at the Somme in 1916, Jack (John) my uncle who was still french polishing at 95 he died aged 97, and the youngest George who died in childhood. There were two daughters Beatrice born 1897 and my mother Annie Maiden born 1902. Both Bea and my mum were in their late 90's when they died. Kind Regards,
