Have you found them on the 1939 register

No marriage coming up to a Nellie grace Wright

Think you need to identify him firsts

Who were his parents?

When was he living in gravesend

It’s not an uncommon name so you need more info on him

The birth and death info given by John refers to Nellie, not Henry - though it's not clear from the wording of John's post.

John - do you have Nellie's death cert for any clues that might contain?

Nellie married three times - if this is the right woman:

Do you have the 1959 marriage cert?

If so -
What was Henry's father's name and occupation?
What was Henry's occupation and age?

Linking to the 1959 marriage, Ancestry suggests this is Henry's death - though goodness knows if it is or not:

BUT
there are plenty of other deaths for men named Henry G Cox, and Ancestry's suggestions are only that, and often irrelevant.

There are lots of births of boys named Henry George Cox, in many different years and places.
He could have been born anywhere - not necessarily in Kent.

We need to know the details from the 1959 marriage cert.

Thankyou for you all, I appreciate your help. Yes this is the Nellie Grace I was looking for. Someone I know needs to get in touch with the Wright family, so it looks like it will be the son of Nellie Grace, Robert Wright age 13 in 1939. I managed to find a marriage to a George Harold Wright in 1928 Gravesend to a Nellie Grace Funnell, which looks like 2 yrs after son Robert was born.

So it must be a different Nellie maiden name then

No help with Henry - but -

Nellie was actually married four times.
Her maiden name was Funnell .


This is the birth of the 13-yr-old Robert J Wright (born 6 June 1926) who is with Nellie in 1939:
