Too many Florence Mary Wright deaths to know whether one might be his wife. If she predeceased him, a child might be the informant on his death certificate.

Also way too many Wright-Day births either side of 1930 in England/Wales to know whether any of them are children of this couple.

A possibility for Florence (4 Florence Mary Day births 1895-1906):

Births Jun 1898

No death record to match that name / birthdate after 1969, and no Florence M B Wright before 1969.

You're in contact with the two other people who have Charles Wright in their trees?

Thank you everybody. I only have one tree match contact for Charles Frederick Wright and she has put him on her tree from the details on my tree as she is a very very distant relative of somebody of other. People just like to have as many names as possible don't they?
Thanks again to you all. I am very much obliged to have this info.

I now have a death certificate for Charles Frederick Wright in 1981and the informant is a Daisy Alma French. No relationship mentioned so it could be a neighbour. I have reached a dead end but thank you to all those GR members who have offered assistance.

for info

Name: Daisy Alma French
Birth Date: 6 Oct 1916
Death Registration Month/Year: Jan 1994
Age at death (estimated): 77
Registration district: Southampton
Inferred County: Hampshire
Register number: D47A
District and Subdistrict: 5002D
Entry number: 20

Name: Daisy A Turner + Edward W French
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1946

Volume Number: 2c

Name: Edward William French

Births Dec 1916 ?
Turner Daisy A Unwin Poplar 1c 685

Births Sep 1912
French Edward W Russell S.Stoneham 2c 181

So no obvious connection.

I don't see any obvious children to that marriage.

But hold on, people have that 1916 Daisy Turner in their tree, and someone shows her as Daisy Agnes. So I suspect this is her:

(okay, I'm getting tired of html happening only where I do *not* want it ...)

Births Dec 1916
Bye Daisy A Smith Winchester 2c 217

Name: Daisy A Bye + John P Hyde
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1941
Registration district: Kettering
Registration county (inferred): Northamptonshire

Except that John Philip Hyde (born 1915) died 1996 in Kettering. Divorce, perhaps.

Two people have Daisy Bye 1916 Winchester in their trees.

Thanks Janey. It seems that I have to draw a line under this couple. Florence Mary Day was definitely born in India and her father Herbert must have been in the army as that's where I was looking when I found her. Seeing that Charles Frederick Wright died 30 years ago I suppose there's no way of checking electoral rolls from that far back - unless you know differently? The informant on his death cert - i.e. Daisy Alma French is probably no relation to him. I am still doing some searching for her - but looking after a two year old granddaughter is inclined to be a major distraction!!
Once again - thank you very much Janey. You are a marvel.
Regards,
Jennifer

I think we didn't know Florence Mary Day was born in India, and if we had, it would have saved me some searching ...

For electoral rolls, you can see them at the library local to the address, I believe. Since you have an address, you would be able to find who was living there on the date nearest to the death. That might help, you never know!

If Herbert Day was in the British military in India in 1911, he should show on the 1911 census, but I don't see him or Florence. I'm not getting what you mean when you say you were looking in the military when you found her. You found Herbert's military records, and she was on them? No other children, for instance?

It's a poser, but let us know if anything else turns up. ;)

Hello again Janey, I was looking in the military marriages and saw Charles Frederick Wright had married Florence Mary Day in India in 1926 and her father was named as Herbert Day. I looked up her birth and found she also was born in India in 1902 so that ruled out the other Florence Mary Days who were suggested as being UK born. I still would love to know if they had any children. What is this India-EASy source that is mentioned by above researchers.
Hope you are keeping busy - without reaching the tearing your hair out stage!
Regards,
Jennifer

Hello again everybody who helped me before. I have found out from an Ancestry member that Charles Frederick Wright and Florence Mary Wright nee Day emigrated to Australia and had two children - Joan Daphne & Norman in 1927 & 1932. These descendants could possibly still bein Australia. Any clues as to how I can trace them as I don't even know which state they are in. Their father returned to England and died in Southampton in 1982

PM sent re possible marriage for daughter

I have sent an enquiry to the Library service in Australia who may be able to track Joan Daphne and her husband during their time on the Australian electoral registers. There is still light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks to both of you., That could well be her. Meaning her husband Charles Frederick survived her by six years and died in Southampton February 1981. The right birth year and possibly she used the name May instead of Mary which I think was the correct one. If their children remained in Australia it would explain why Charles had a neighbour informing his death. Cant wait to hear what the Oz libraries come up with.

I have ascertained that the above and his wife Florence Mary Wrigfht nee Day had a child Joan Daphne Wright born Trimulgherry India on 11 April 1927. This showed on the army attestation. Any more thoughts on my problem now that we have this information please.
