I'm trying to find HENRY WRIGHT born abt 1868, died 1950. I found Henry in the 1901 census living in Collier Row Lane, Romford, Essex, with his wife Charlotte but it doesn't give a birthplace for him. His occupation was Confectioner/Shopkeeper.

Henry's father was WILLIAM WRIGHT (born abt 1830 birthplace unknown) who died in 1897 in White Hart Lane, Collier Row. His death cert gives his occupation as Confectioner. William was married to SARAH and he had at least one other child - AMY FRANCES.

I've checked the 1881 and 1891 census but couldn't find this family and there are too many Henrys born 1867/68 in England for me to order every birth cert (especially as there's always the possiblity he wasn't born in England).

If you've come across this family or have any ideas on where I could look next I'd be grateful. Thanks.
