Note: there was another Charles Wright about the same age living in Richmond County Nova Scotia, and his wife was also Elizabeth. He was born in 1823, the son of William and Lydia Wright of Richmond County. Due to the similarities in names, parents and wives, they are sometimes confused in online sources, however they appear as separate men, with different children in the Census noted here.
