On the 6/6/1896 Albert Edward Wright married Eliza Sergent. Albert was 23 years old and Eliza was 21. Albert was a Batchelor and Eliza was a Spinster. Albert is listed as a Hosier and his dad was William Wright who was deceased. He lived in Hudson Street, Preston. His dad was a Joiner.
Eliza was from St Pauls Road and her dad is listed as William Worral Sergent and he was deceased. He was previously a Propogator. They were married at the Register Office in Preston by license. their witnesses were Frank Cowell and William Sergent.

I have no other info but I believe Eliza was born in Preston in 1875 in the last quarter of the year but was Elizabeth Sergeant. I can't find any other in formation. Hope this helps.
