According to a marriage certificate copy, Eliza Wright married Thomas Philpott in Mersham, Kent, England on 12 Oct 1874. The certificate shows that Eliza's father was Richard Wright, a tailor. English census records tell me that Eliza was born in Ireland (no town or County specified) in about 1850. Does anyone have any other information on this Irish family, in particular the name of Eliza's mother?
Tips on how I'd go about tracing her would also be appreciated.
I've tried the Irish Family History Foundation website (http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com/) but the closest baptism record seems to be for Elizabeth Wright, baptised in 1854 in Co.Antrim, father Richard Wright. However, the four year date difference seems too great for it to be the correct person. Also, is Eliza short for Elizabeth, or is it generally a name in it's own right?
