Georgie died following the childbirth. Major married Margaret M McLeod in 1898. In 1920 he married Ellen M. Kelley (Helen) who had been born in Massachusetts in 1886.

In various directories Major Wright is referred to as Major Wright Wright. I believe people considered Major to be a military title, but Major is his baptismal name. A number of boys within this extended family were baptized with the Christian name ‘Major’.
