Hi Pete,

There is a birth registration for a Kenneth L Wright - Year 1930 - Oct/Nov/Dec 1/4 - District Leicester - mothers maiden name Corfield.

I've not found a Sheila Wright with mothers maiden name Corfield.

As you have the GRO reference for the birth why not send for the certificate which should give the names of both parents.
