Hi there!
I am grateful to find this thread.
Lucy Gilmore Wright (Susannah Wright’s daughter) is my great-great grandma (married William John Mitchell in Croyden, came to Canada in 1911 or so, passed away in Canada).

I have had very little success searching her on Ancestry so this has been amazing to stumble upon.

I am curious about the “gilmore” middle name and about who her parents are.

Hello and welcome to Rootschat  :)

Do you have her 1967 death certificate?

1967 Lucy’s death gives parents as Abel WRIGHT & Susan GILMORE,
spouse William John MITCHELL

1911 census Lucy MITCHELL her husband William and children are living in Croydon

Not sure if these were posted possible entry for Lucy's birth entry from GRO indexes and that of her sister Kate Gilmore Wright both mother's name have been left blank which would indicate illegitimate, Kate's baptism details on the thread show NO father named only mother Susannah WRIGHT

Just speculation perhaps Gilmore might be the surname of the father  :-\

I don't know whether SarahEliza has either birth certificate of the girls to confirm the details or if she obtained the marriage entry posted by Rosie99 to check if she's the correct Susannah
Jun 1901   
Walters    Henry       
Wright    Susannah        
Croydon    2a   621

Hopefully when she receive these notifications she will be in touch and may be able to help you further.

EDIT to add these appear to be sons William & Roland's birth entry - also no mother's maiden name

Here's the link to GRO https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp it's free to search
but you have to register to do so



Interestingly Lucy's brother lists Abel Gilmore Wright (valet, deceased) on his marriage certificate!
