| Biographical data |
| Name: Wright, George William |
| Born: 1838 |
| Died: 1926 |
| |
| Notes: |
| The son of this player was also named George William Wright (born 1869) so some of these results might in principle be his, but in that case one would expect him to be distinguished from his father as 'G.W. Wright, jun.', since both were active in the same location. |
