Is this the Jeremiah WRIGHT who married Eliza PHILLIPS 02/11/1861 at Longhope, and later married Alice JONES 18/03/1889 at Mitcheldean?

Three children at Mitcheldean?

1890 Felix Josiah (a blacksmith by 1911)
1891 Sussanah Elizabeth
1894 Gladys May

There are some mentions of what appears to be Felix Josiah in the BNA:-

Gloucester Citizen - Saturday 23 December 1922

James SKINNER, of Ruardean, was charged with stealing two fowls, valued at 15s., the property of Felix J. WRIGHT, blacksmith and brother-in-law of defendant, of Hope Mansell.

Gloucester Citizen - Saturday 30 May 1925

Felix WRIGHT, motor driver, Howle Hill, near Ross, was fined 10s. for driving a motorcar without sufficient lights on May 16th.— P.C. NICHOLS stated the facts.

Gloucester Journal - Saturday 05 September 1925

Felix Josiah WRIGHT, of Cloughton [Coughton?], near . Ross, was summoned for driving a motor car without proper lights at Cinderford on August 8th.—Fined £1. —P.C. COLE was the officer concerned.

It’s not very much but perhaps it shows that Felix moved into Herefordshire (from Mitcheldean where he was in 1911, also as a blacksmith). If his elderly father was still with him it could help explain the General Register entry,

Jeremiah WRIGHT, Death, Q1, 1926, Ross District. Aged 87 (1839).
