Thanks all.

The bigamist mentioned is not the right guy, but good spot.

Thomas Wright in Anchor St is the person I'm interested in - I was wondering if it was the same man who was at Yardley St a year or so before. He's not in Yardley St in 1841, so maybe, but not sure there's any way to tell.

Thanks again.

In Pigot's Directory, 1839, a Thomas Wright was listed as a draught board maker, at 25 Yardley Street.

In 1838 (Robson's Dir.) at that same address, a Thomas Wright had been listed as an undertaker.

Addendum: In 1845 and 1846 (P.O.L.D.), a Thomas Wright, chair maker, was listed at 118 Long Lane, Bermondsey.

In an 1850 directory there is a butcher named Jesse Wright at 25 Yardley Street. In the 1851 census it's John Wright, butcher, aged 30, born Buckinghamshire.
