Trying to find Wright

I'm still trying to find the father of my g.g.grandfather who was called George William Wright. I believe George was born in London (Middlesex) 1857/58 as he was 77 when he died in June 1935, he did eventually live in Hull from at least 1884 and was a fisherman in 1891. George's mother may have been called da Costa marriage, but I have no Christian names for her and no name at all for g.grandad's father, so I don't know if his parents were married or not. Apparently one of George's granddaughters (my aunt) remember seeing her (that could have been in Manchester or Hull) and also remembers seeing photos of her wearing a mantilla. As my aunt wasn't born until 1917, that would mean that my g.grandad's mother was alive at least a few years after 1917. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?
