      My grandfather was Elmer Kenneth Wright b. 08 Feb 1899 in Sidney, Nebraska. I have traced this family back to Kelvedon Hatch, Essex, England. My problem area is back a bit further starting with Henry Wright b. 1424 also at Kelvedon. Somehow, the Wright and Whitbread lineage back then is extremely confussing. I show both surnames as parentage to Henry. I can't seem to straighten it out. Can anyone help? Needless to say, it's driving me nuts!
