Where does Freda fit in?

Do you have any dates for her? And a surname would be useful

There doesn't seem to be a person of that name among the vast amount of info people found for you

Where and when did Margaret marry Mr Wright?

Well, you're correct to say that Isaac wasn't her father, but unless the mother owned up on the birth cert, you'll never know who the father was
