HUSBAND - John Wright John Wright arrived in WA 21 Jan 1887 per Hampshire with his wife and 5 children. (Source: Dictionary of Western Australians 1829-1914 Volume 4, Part 2, L-Z) Info from JR Francis: John was an unemployed tailor at the time of his marriage and he and Mary lived in a cottage at the rear of 43 Frederick Street, St Nicholas in Aberdeen. From the number of people living at 43 Frederick Street (some 28 in all) it would appear that it was either a large boarding house or some ohter type of housing complex. Five children were born to John and Mary in Scotland. There have been no details found concerning Agnus, she was however named on the ships passenger list as travelling with her parents. John worked as a tailor in the Fremantle area after arriving in WA. On his marriage certificate his profession is noted as a Tailor (Journeyman). A Journeyman was any person who has fully served their apprenticeship in a trade or craft and is a qaulified worker in anothers employ.
