CORY-WRIGHT baronets
Wife of Roland Anthony C-W is Jenny BAKER (see Veterinarian Registers).  Dau birth confirmed as Q1 2014 Norfolk with this information.  No male birth with this mother's maiden name in GRO indices. There is definitely a son in social media - is it possible he was born abroad? Roland is ex-military.
