I can't spot a marriage to Mollie either? Wondered if Thomas reversed his first names, but still can't see anything.
This seems to be the most likely birth based on the 1939 reg info

DAY, THOMAS EDWARD LAWSON Order
GRO Reference: 1907 M Quarter in ST. MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 554

Probably this one ( not that it helps)
1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census
55 Alfred Road Paddington W, Paddington, London & Middlesex, England

Joseph Day Head Married Male Slunter On Railway 27 1884 Chelsea London
Florence Day Wife Married Female - 28 1883 Bloomsbury London
Joseph Day Son - Male - 6 1905 Bloomsbury London
Thomas Edward Day Son - Male - 4 1907 St Marylebone London

The London electoral rolls to about 1965 ( excluding war years when there were none taken) are on Ancestry.

There are four Day/ Dalton births in Willesden 1940- 1950

Mablee on that 1939 is actually Mollie.

Mollie and Thomas Edward are living at the same address (as the 1939 register) in 1938 and are listed on the electoral register.

In 1934 Mollie and Thomas Edward at living 3 Christchurch Ave, Willesden

In 1935- 1937 Mollie and Thomas Edward are living at 29 Vicarage Road, WIllesden.
-----------------

I don't see Mollie in Willesden after 1939

'If' the Thomas E Day on the 1939 reg in Willesden is the same one it is possible he wasn't free to marry?

Day Household (2 People)
1 Roundswood Court Flats-Corner Of Outgate 1 Roundwood Road , Willesden M.B., Middlesex, England

Thomas E Day 23 Mar 1907 Male Cinema Electrician Operator Married 71 1
Mablee Day 20 Feb 1909 Female Beer Bottling Married 71 2

following on from my post last night

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1369001

I am certain my only way forward at present is to find the marriage of
Constance Peggy Dalton and Thomas E Day - probably around Willesden area in about 1946

She may be down as Peggy or Constance but I really cannot see it.
I need this to see what she has put for her Father's name (I think she maybe actually Constance Parkhouse) ive tried searching Day/parkhouse too

I have found two Day Children MMN Dalton -but no marriage as yet. (THanks guys for your earlier help)

id be grateful for more eyes as i really have spent hours and several different sites - and I must go and do something other than this before kids get home!
