Parents of Edward Wright (Right?) of Stroud

Edward Wright (Right?)
BAPTISED 02 SEP 1723 • Stroud, Gloucestershire, England
DIED AUG 1806 • Painswick, Gloucestershire, England

Hello all, I'm looking to confirm the parents of the above.  His father's name is also Edward (Ann Right his wife?) and I think he went by Right, not Wright, and that the Edward baptised on 2 September 1723 was baptised as Right not Wright.

Any help would be sooooo appreciated as I've been going round in circles.

The Edward baptised on 2 September is the son of Ed. WRIGHT

No mother named.

I cannot see the 1806 burial to which you refer.
Can you please point me to it.

Found it

He is WRIGHT on the burial too.

[CarolineLittle]

TYVM.  His wife was Elizabeth Wheatley if that helps anyone help me find Edward's parents.

[CarolineLittle]

Ok, originally I thought Edward was married to Hester Keen but that threw off who I had as a father for Edward based on his name also being Edward.  In looking at Hester's marriage certificate it lists a RICHARD RIGHT and a JOHN KEEN.  Married 27 July 1727 in Bisley.

So perhaps it's Richard not Edward?

Can we back track a bit please.

Is Edward who died age 88 in 1806 _ buried at Painswick your ancestor?
Can you please give just the details of his marriage and children’s baptisms.

Joseph on 7 June 1767 at St Mary's Church in Painswick.

Sorry for making things confusing.

Ok, they have a child Hester, so I would think the Hester Keen & Edward Wright marriage in 1717 is likely correct.

Where are you seeing mention of a Richard Wright in relation to that marriage?

[CarolineLittle]

On a marriage certificate, I've tried uploading but it won't let me.  It can't be her anyway as the date was 1717 and she wasn't born yet.

It's only related if Edward who died in 1806 had a father called Edward who married this Hester Keen.  If that is the case then Edward has grandparents by the name of Richard Right and John Keen as those were the names listed on the 1717 marriageas parents of Edward and Hester..
