Sir if you are referring to William MCDowel Wright's Will type in the following as i have it below
William Wright Mc D A ? M D
This should bring up the will index dated 1941 to your right you will see about 13 small squares of text click on these to bring up the calendar as i say very blurred
click on search archives here
http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/wills-testamentary-records/

if you go to Family Search Historical records and type name Aiken and Birthplace Isle of Man and search you will see that the name is there since early 1800s and possibly earlier

no idea why Waterford news but found George William Finlay circa 1874 as Auditor on Local Government Board Officers in Kings Co or Offaly maybe he originates from there.

some details for his children
Daughter Sheelah Deidre Wright died 1922 her Will on National Archives site names her father
Son Gordon W from the 1901 most likely born as William Gordon
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FB45-14Z
on the 1911 census they have him transcribed as William Roger however the actual census page says William Gordon
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000239461/
He married in Clonmel in 1914

William Gordon and his wives? have decided to make things awkward
according the peerage Juanita Bellingham died 1963
so did he divorce her before 1920 or have i got a coincidental marriage
his Will on National Archives names his widow as Phylis M Wright at the right address in Dalkey in 1930
so that leads to this marriage
