I couldn't identify 'Wybridge Marshes Essex' but Veronge has a sheet (no photo) from Stratford, which is a marshy area, as well as another from 'Marshes in Essex'

[Roger Horton]

British History Online has:
"The manor of MAYLARDS GREEN and WYBRIDGE was about a mile south-west of Hornchurch village."

In that area, on the Beam River, the OS of ~1900 has Wyebridge Farm (Wybridge on 1st series 1805) 1km SW of Maylands (Mealings) Green at TQ519857. Now built over.

On this map Wybridge is slightly down stream from Wybridge Farm (SW on Hornchurch) near the edge of Dagenham Marshes
