Can anybody help me in my attempts to trace the Wright family of Tewkesbury. I have the marriage certificate of Emma Wright to Thomas Griffiths from May 1856 but would appreciate any earlier information. She is shown as being 22 and a Laundress at that time and her father's name is given as Joseph Wright who was a Malt Maker. Her address at the time of her marriage was Clark's alley.
Any information would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
