A Thomas Wright was apprenticed to James Grigg, Cabinet Maker, in Bristol in 1788. His father was Henry Wright, also a cabinet maker and from Bristol. With the usual age for starting an apprenticeship being 14, he was probably born in about 1774 and would have been about 50 in 1825. Does that fit with what you know?

In 1806 Thomas and Mary Wright baptised a son Henry at St James in Bristol. He would be 19 in 1825.
