Not sure of this one in 1939 Register.
Got the 1881 Census but even that does not give any clue to his birth cert.
A real mystery but thank you for all your help so far.
Just a thought. Wonder if surname was mis spelled as Whight etc.?

That Clifford doesn't tie up with the other children but I found them all with an unmarried mother Beckett and first child Agnes given Wright as a second name.

I would take the 1881 census as a possible for Daniel. Not all the children had birth certs. at this time. It's before it was made compulsory for the parents to register a child and if the registrar missed them when he went around they weren't registered.

I think there was also an inclination by some parents to deliberately not register the births of children because they would then be expected to attend compulsory vaccinations - I remember reading a post by Stan Mapstone about this.

I did find a newspaper report of the death of Sarah Ann, infant daughter of Daniel Wright colliery labourer of Church Hill Dodworth on March 4 1892. Maybe she was the one child who had died [from 1911 census]? Burial register states aged 2 days.

But NO

Have you perhaps found the marriage that stopped a Wright/Beckett marriage Josey?

Most of the other Wright children were registered so Daniel's MMN can be found if that is the correct family. They do connect the Barnsley area  with Chesterfield.

Mar 6 1898 at Cudworth, Daniel Wright miner age 27 [so born ca 1861] father THOMAS miner married Louisa Emily Longford father Charles labourer both of Cudworth witnesses George Frederick Wright & Sarah Ann Paget. So father not the same as 1881 census & age not quite right; will try to follow 1898 marriage Daniel back to eliminate.

ADDED: Hmmm can't find 1871, 1881 or 1891 census with a Daniel Wright father Thomas, now looking for Daniel & Louisa after 1898
