If you go to "familysearch.org" and complete details you will see a few options in Suffolk.................you will have to decide which is yours.

Haven't come across that name but my Wright Family were in
Wattisfield/Bungay before moving to Islington /St Pancras .
To add to IGI above her parents are George and Harriet Wright

Another child for this couple is
Priscilla Jane Wright birth 16th May 1839
Christened 7th June 1839
Priscilla may have died in 1841(on freebmd) St Pancras
1841 All give place of birth as Middlesex
The Marriage for the Harriet Wright was either William Spencer or Richard Thomas Page.
Do you have Wright name in your family?
