Alexander WRIGHT, was an unqualified dentist at Ballarat VIC and later Beaconsfield TAS (just a pair of pliers <g>!). His son, Alexander James WRIGHT, also practiced dentistry there under the training of his father and a Dr BOMFORD of Beaconsfield. The son migrated to Perth WA, became registered as a dentist in WA and helped compile the WA Dental Act of 1894. He became a leading dentist in WA and a man of considerable substance, all due to the training under Dr BOMFORD.
