Seeking some assistance to find information on William Day (1797- 1845) and Son William (b. c1824), who were lithographers in London. In 1851 the son William Day is suppose to be 17 Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn Field. I have the Census but can't find their household. He may have an uncle John Bellini Day, a publisher of London.
Regards
Keith

Is this a possible for William Jnr. in 1851? Not in Lincoln's Inn Field, but he is the right age and a printer.

Can't find a John Bellini Day, but in 1854 a John BELLENCE Day married a Rose Isabel Rees.
In 1861 Isabel Rose Day shows up in Claines, Worcestershire:

Hi Ben,
I am interested in any details of William Day of London (1795 - 1845) the lithographer; William Day, his son also a lithographer agent; and I "believe" John Bellini Day, the publisher, will be his brother.
Galium - the Caroline A Nicholls you provided yesterday will be a daughter of William Day Senior, and I found her in 1881 Census staying with Dr. W.G.Grace and Agnes Nicholls Grace, nee Day, her niece. The wife of William Day Junior is Elizabeth Rees. The wife of John B. Day is Isobel Rees.
These families are connected with my Rees family of Haverforwest, Wales. Regards, Keith Rees Aus

The W G Grace? How wonderful!
Are you sure that John B Day is William Snr.'s brother? He seems to be more of a contemporary Of William Jnr ?
Found a marriage announcement for John and Isabel:
The Times Monday Jan 24 1854:
On the 3rd inst. at St John's Church, Holloway, by the Rev. __ Parnther. John Bellinie Day Esq., of Gate street, Lincoln's-inn, to Isabel Rose, youngest daughter of the late William Lee Rees, R. N.

Thank you Galium for the marriage entry - yes, son of the William Day Senior. (1797 - 1845) This would make William Day m. Elizabeth Rees; John Bellini Day m. Isabel Rose Rees and Caroline A. Day m. John R. Nicholls brothers and sisters, and chn of William Day Senior. The two Rees girls are first cousins. Isabel Rose Rees is from Lt. William Lee Rees and Mary Pocock; and Elizabeth Rees is from Dr. James Lee Rees and Elizabeth Pocock. The two Pococks are sisters. To make it worse the Rees boys' sister Mary Rees form Haverfordwest, m. the Pocock girl's brother George Pocock, Junior.
Yes, the cricket Grace family married into these families as well. Once again Galium, thank you for your interest and support.
To Robert - I will now look up your references. Thank you.

Thank you Rob.
It seems that William Day didn't seem stay bankrupt too long as by 1881, he is living Edgcliffe Gardens, Kensington with a household of about 17 or 18., as a lithographer agent.
Thank you for the news article.

I am interested in the Day family as my mother-in-law was a Day (and W.G. Grace's niece!), but I have not, so far, been able to find the parents of the first William Day (1797-1845). Can anybody help?
I do have some information on Caroline Bellini (William's wife) and her family and am more than willing to share that.

Hi Keith
I am not able to send personal messages until I have posted another message but thank you for your reply. The complexities of the Rees, Pocock and Day relationships make study of these families a fascinating, but at times frustrating, exercise. This, however, only helps to make each discovery, even if it is relatively unimportant, something of great moment.
I have managed to acquire a great deal of information on the Days, starting with William (1797-1845), but I have nothing earlier than him. My work on the Pococks is less complete but I am attempting to find a link between George Pocock, the schoolmaster and inventor of Bristol and Nicholas Pocock, the painter, and so back to the Pococks of Berkshire. The Reeses I traced back to Wales but no further.
As it appears as if we have a number of mutual interests I hope we will be able to work together so that we both can achieve our goals.
Cheers
John, New Zealand.

John,
You should be able to use my email address that I forwarded to you.
Have you got a lot of information from the Chris Sheahan's site?
Do you know of the Rees Family History book of 1991?
I have just made contact with 3 new contacts in Eng not previously known to us.
Looking forward to see your second name to see if I have it already listed.
Keith

Thanks for your message. I think we have been in touch before when I was hunting the Rees connection. I have extracts from the Rees history book given to me by Rees descendants in New Zealand.
As far as I can recall I have not seen the Chris Sheahan web site, but then I have only recently found out what a powerful tool we have in the internet.
Cheers
John Scott

Hi John,
Yes, you are on the computer; however, thanks to groups like RootsChat, a lot more information has been uncovered and is developing.
As soon as you can contact me directly, please do so, and I will fill you in.
Plus, I would welcome an extra hand. For example, I did not know that William Day's wife was Bellini.
Regards,
Keith
