Wright family of Tewkesbury
« on: Sunday 12 November 06 11:02 GMT (UK) »
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.
