John Edward Wright was born in the workhouse in 1874 - the birth reference was as expected West Ham.
His older brother James was 5 months old in the same workhouse in 1871 census. There is no reference for James Wright in a likely time frame in West Ham though. There are 2 or 3 in Essex though the most likely I felt was Edmonton. Could his birth registration not be listed on the bmd's and if so is it still possible to get his birth cert. I suppose there is the possibility that he wasn't actually born in the workhouse but went in shortly after birth. His mother Emma (22), born Forest Gate Essex is in the workhouse with him.
Any opinions please? Sorry if I have to go suddenly. I'm in the middle of cooking dinner.
