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 JHS

I have not looked for Wm. Day's parents, but I certainly can help you with the descendants of two of his chn William and John Bellini Day.

I have sent a you a personal message.

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

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
