Charles John Wright b either 1843 Middlesex or 1847 Dereham Norfolk. Can only find him on 1881 and 1891 censuses. He married Annie Maria (or any variation of those names throughout her life) Morris - can't find any marriage so can't go further back with Charles. They had children Sidney Herbert b 1879 Hornsey(my grandfather), Frank Theophilus born 1884 Tottenham and Vivian Codwell b Islington 1876 and who seemed to be adopted and took the name Wright by 1891 census. As my maiden name was Wright I'm very frustrated to be stuck at Charles with no obvious way of going back further without the marriage certificate. Does anyone know anything about this family?

Yes thanks both. I do believe that what you've found is the right family Anne Maria has confused a lot with her name variations as has Sidney Herbert with his different spellings Any suggestions where I might look for Anne's marriage to Charles Wright apart from BMD where I can find nothing!
