The grandson was the son of the late Mr Edwin Payton Wright and his wife Matilda.  He is not named.  On behalf of her son, Matilda and a guardian were saying that the testator John Turner Wright was of unsound mind at the time of making his will as he left everything to his first son.  In the end John Turner Wright (son of JTW) settled a sum of £5,000 to be held in trust for the boys education and maintenance.

The Standard (London, England), Thursday, November 26, 1891 reports that the widow of Edwin opposed the will on behalf of her son Edwin.

The report also states that the marriage of Edwin and Matilda was a hurried affair owing to the circumstances, I take that to mean that a 'little Wright' was already on the way
