I was just going to post that Choccy.

I see on the 1861 census that Benjamin's Father is a Needle Maker.

Father Thomas's occupation on the record Choccy posted is....Needle Maker.

Benjamin's occupation on the 1881 census is........Tailor

I am hoping that some-one can find the marriage of Benjamin WRIGHT, ( born c1841, in Ipsley, Warwickshire.)
According to the 1871 census, his wife is Ann ?. born c 1845 at Feckenham, Worcestershire.
On the same census, they had a child, Rosa, born 1869, at Redditch, Worcestershire.
I've searched high & low, to no avail.
Any information will be gratefully received.

Paul.
