Dr. Edward Wright was the father of Polly. He had one older brother, Charles, and a younger brother, Randolph. He got married to a socialite, Miss Bettington-Smith about August 1939. Soon, she gave birth to a boy. In 1943, they added Polly to their family, at which time they were said to be living in a "big, old house in the country." As of 1944, Edward's mother was still alive. Some time after Polly's birth, Edward and his wife had three more sons.
As a young adult, Polly reflected on her parents and admitted she had taken them for granted, but they had always been there for her.
Edward's commitment to personal educationa, along with his wife's position in high society, doubtless contributed to Polly's posh accent and deportment — things that led Ben to give her the nickname "Duchess". (CC: Resistance)
