Hi Karen

My Wright family are from the West Ham area, but my Great Great Grandfather appears to come from the Norfolk area. If my research is correct it looks like he was born in 1808 in Market Deerham?? His name was Robert Wright - if there is any connection please get in touch as I am getting stuck myself!!

Wrights from Norfolk - Do you have any Wrights in your tree originating in Norfolk particularly Kings Lynn during the 1800's? Particular names would include James, Henry, Hannah, Daniel + many others. The surname Garner also figures prominently sometimes being used as a double barrelled surname. my Great Grandfather was James Garner Wright. he was born in Kings Lynn but moved to London later on. He was born in 1863 and died 1925 in West Ham (i think) If you think you may have any info or are a descendant of one of the siblings please drop me a line. Regards Karen
