Joseph WRIGHT/M, birth 17 mar 1804 Debden, Essex, England, baptised 29 apr 1804 Parish Church, Debden, Essex, England, son of James WRIGHT/M and Anne ELDRED/Mr Labourer who was living at Roost Lane, Saffron Walden, at time of marriage to Martha Richardson also living in Roost Lane, Saffron Walden - on marriage record in Bishops Transcripts it is noted that the father of Joseph is "DUKE" Wright - it must have been a nickname as the age given by Joseph on the 1851 census return tallies with the birth registered in Debden of Joseph in 1804 to a James and Anne Wright. I am therefore assuming that this couple are the direct line and that the name "Duke" was purely a nickname. Joseph had himself baptised again (probably didn't realise he had already been baptised) at the Parish Church in Saffron Walden on 8 April 1866 when it was stated that he was 59 years old - he probably lied about his age on his second marriage as there was quite a discrepancy between ages after this time, and he was certainly consisderably older than Martha!!
