Yes thank you looks to be him. Does it tell you where the rest of the family were born? Transcriber obviously took some short cuts with the initials!

Hmm....more names to search for thanks. Even more confused now. Had hoped to connect Joseph Snr born 1856 Westerleigh with other Wren links in my family, but they were all born Bristol! Joseph Eh Wren married in1932 and died 1938. His wife Rosina was left money by my GGmother who was not related to this line of Wrens but distantly by marriage to the Bristol born Wrens!

Joseph E H Wren can't have married in 1832, he wasn't born until 1895?
or
Is this another Joseph E H Wren?
