  • Gallery: The back side of the portrait of Jane's father misidentifies him as Robert Wright., before 2 April 1870, in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Robert Wright was actually Jane's grandfather. Her father was Francis Charteris Wright. The reason we know this is Francis and not actually the grandfather Robert is because her grandfather died long before portrait photography became common.
