This looks to be Charlotte's birth, which suggests her mother was unmarried:

Births Dec 1915
WRIGHT Charlotte WRIGHT Basford 7b 458

Not seeing a birth for a James in that area.

In this thread you say Jim was a half brother.

That being the case, there's a marriage for a Lucy Wright to a Francis so Jim's surname isn't Wright.

Fastyrmie Rose Charlotte was my mother-in-law on her birth certificate the fathers name is missing, Lucy Ann married James Edwin when Charlotte was just two years old But we have been told but have NO proof that Jim was Charlotte's half brother But he was brought up with the name Wright Why we don't know & my inlaws took their secrets to the grave my husband was brought up believing his father s only sibling died in the war But then my father-in-laws's brother turned up at my mother-in-laws funeral about 10years after my father-in-law died apparently this brother only lived 20 miles away
