Kathleen Blanche Wright - 1930s

My father, Ray Wright, was married before he married my mother. His first wife, Mary Brenda Hunt, died in 1927 giving birth to their only child, Kathleen (Kathy). Kathy herself died in a tragic accident in 1936 when she was aged 8. She had taken a bus to visit her maternal grandparents at Collaroy. When she got off the bus, she ran behind it to cross the road and was hit by a car travelling along Pittwater Road. She is buried in the same grave as her mother at Manly Cemetery in Sydney. My father was to go on and have four sons with my mother, Flora. I am the youngest of those four sons.
