There is an Edward Wright a farmer in Norton village in 1851, age 73, wife Lucy age 70.

Perhaps Sarah's grandfather.

ETA: in 1841 Edward and Lucy have sons EDWARD 30 and Thomas 35

I see this is an old query and maybe the O.P. has solved the mystery now; perhaps the details added will be a help to someone else.

This post is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws. Unfortunately my preferred method of writing (Parker Quink on Basildon Bond) cannot be used.
