Biographical history
Albert Allbright was born in Northamptonshire, England in 1889. He was apprenticed at age 13 to a millwright at Wolverton Bucks and in 1909 he moved to Lincoln Engineering Works as an improver in millwright work. In 1911 he immigrated to Canada, arriving in Calgary, Alberta where he worked for two months before moving to an area near Hardisty and Daysland to drive a steam tractor. By 1912 Allbright was working as a mechanic in Edmonton, Alberta in a garage owned by Thomas Bellamy and in the spring of that same year Allbright married. During World War I Allbright served as a staff sergeant in the 14th Canadian Field Ambulance CEF in France, Belgium and Germany. He returned to Edmonton in 1919 and began working in the civic garage, remaining there until his retirement in 1954. Allbright was active with the All Saints' Anglican Church, serving as warden for three years and on the vestry for 30 years, and was a life member of the Edmonton Safety Council and the Riverdale Community League.
