Mike,
I've found the passsenger manifest where John Wright's son, John, came over in 1923. Also found the manifest where John (the son)'s wife, Emily K. came over in 1925 with their 2 children. The were from Cardiff and were headed for Cleveland. It indicates that Emily's maiden name was Loxton. The children were John J. (3 y.o.) and Grace M. (1 y.o.).
Great, you were posting this while I was typing mine ;-). What was the ships name and date for 1923?
I don't think I have a copy of "British Gunmakers" by Brown but do have a copy of "London Gunmakers" by him and has the same quote, more checking to be done. That's the way things work, answering one question brings up several more.
