Henry James Wright 1869 - 1943 Lambeth

[MonicaL]

I think there is a more fitting birth registration for Henry James. He gave his birth date as 22 December 1867. Not surprisingly, more that likely that the birth registration would have taken place in the New Year 1868.

There is this birth registration on the GRO:

WRIGHT, HENRY  JAMES      Mother's Maiden name CARTER     
GRO Reference: 1868  M Quarter in ST GEORGE THE MARTYR SOUTHWARK  Volume 01D  Page 178

Good possibility that the James Henry, with mother showing as Carter on his 1882 birth reg, and Henry James are siblings?

There are two marriages showing for a Henry Wright and bride CARTER in London in the right time frame:

Margaret Carter - marriage in Lambeth in 3rd Qrt 1864

Susan Carter - marriage in Bermondsey in 2nd Qrt 1866

Hopefully census entries will help further.

Well done, Jon  Only just found the 1864 marriage 

Monica

[jonwarrn]

Nice that we all agree it looks very promising.
That missing "t" in 1871 may have caused the problem in finding them, it does say Wrigh!

[Blue Lou]

 hi Jon

Brilliant help from you both!

From that 1871 census entry you found, Jon, Henry Snr was showing as born in Walworth c. 1844. There is this possible entry in 1851 in Lambeth:

James Wright 39 b. Middlesex
Mary Ann Wright 30 b. Wye, Essex
Henry Wright 7 b. Walworth, Surrey

James's occupation is looking here like Compositor? Not sure on that.
