some birth info on John and Kate's children:

March 9, 1877, a stillborn male, born in Hinton, on the record it indicates the child was christened in Sussex, England
December 13, 1878, Elliot Wright, born in Hinton
December 25, 1883, Douglass Wright, born in Hinton, Douglass died September 30, 1884 in Michigan
April 21, 1885, Mabel M Wright, born in Hinton

Elizabeth's surname (Eli's wife) according to Charles R. Wright's marriage record is Kimins or Kimes. Could be King. From DNA testing we had a match with the surname of Rushforth who originated in Leeds, England.

Not sure if that helps.

From Montezuma Republican newspaper obituary: 1-8-1902

Charles R. Wright died of pneumonia, Wednesday, after an illness of only ten days. He was well known in this section, being the engineer for David Blaine's thrashing outfit. He formerly resided in the vicinity of Brooklyn. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his taking away. He was a member of the Woodmen lodge here and his folks will receive $2000 - a very wise provision on the part of a thoughtful husband and father.

Hi-
I found James Wright living with his daughter Gertrude's family in 1910. She married an Orlo(Arlo?) Frisk circa 1897.

Also found a possible death certificate for James(1918) in Montcalm on Seeking Michigan:
