This isn't the one you were looking for Lyn .... but I wonder if maybe a relation ... it's not what you'd call a common name !! it's a WW1 medal card that can be downloaded for 3 pounds 50 .... might like to keep him on the back burner !! 
Medal card of Wright, Cyrus
Lincolnshire Regiment
49491
Private
Date
1914-1920

Had a quick look at www.lancashirebmd.org.uk for possible marriages of Cyrus J's children. (1901 census has Fred, Florence C, Laura, Elizabeth E, Edgar)
1. Florence WRIGHT m Peter EDMOND at Church of the Ascension in 1910. The family were living in the parish of the Ascension in 1901 so she is a good possibility.
2. Laura WRIGHT married Wilfred AINSWORTH at Richmond Independent Chapel in 1918. Richmond Chapel was on Blackfriar's Rd, not far from Lower Broughton Road, so quite a likely candidate.
3. Elizabeth E WRIGHT married Ernest GODBERT at St Barnabas in 1915. St Barnabas was on Frederick Rd, also not far away, so a possibility.
There are several Fred/Frederick's so couldn't pick one out, and couldn't find an Edgar at all.

Thank you all so much for your responses. Sorry that I haven't been back....busy with visitors.
You have given me a lot more info for my notes & to ponder on.
However, I was hoping that this post might put me in contact with some descendants of this couple, as of a large number of possibles to fit in my son's tree, these seem the most likely, and I was hoping to save myself a fortune in certs, by making contact with someone who can confirm or discard my research.
Looks like I will need to spend up and hope.
Thanks again.
Blessings
Lyn

Thanks Tony. I will try that.
The problem is that I know that much of the census records for Lancs are missing/damaged and with the little info I have, this family is the only one that I can find that fits. But some doesn't seem to. And there are so many Wrights In Lancs that I am unsure if I am on the right track. And it is not made any easier by researching from downunder and having very little geographical knowledge of England.
Thanks heaps for your help.
Blessings
Lyn

Hi Lyn,
worth a post to that site, nothing ventured, nothing gained  Also your lack of geographical knowledge is more than compensated for by some of the 'illustrious' names who have posted replies. The fonts of wisdom of all things Salford, Manchester, Salford and Lancashire are obviously there for you 
Cheers

Thanks Tony.....just working on the wording for the post....don't want it to be as ambiguous as my post here!!
The expertise and friendliness of the peeps here is what brought me back to post on Roots Chat.
