| This following is given by BEB1841 (Wright of Dagenham), supported by TCB (vol iii, Wright of Dagenham). | |||||||||||||||
| (1) | Lawrence Wright of London & Dagenham (d 03.10.1657, 2nd son) | ||||||||||||||

| BEB1841 identifies Anne's first husband as Sir Robert Pye of Berkshire. TCB suggests that it was his son whom she married. There is something odd (or at least unusual) here as her mother Anne Crewe is shown as having married Edmund of Faringdon after the death of Sir Henry. | |||||||||||||||
