I live in Scotland and have been recently been told that i could be connected to this family as they had originally emigrated from Scotland.

Really need more info than just a surname. There are people of that surname from Emgland and Australia as well.

http://www.canada411.ca/ will give you the names of Day living in Carstairs

I apologise for this garbled message. I accidentally pressed the send button before finishing. 
Thanks to those of you who have taken the time to reply
For the last few years a school pipe band has gone out to play at the Calgary Stampede and are due to go again this year. One of the members of the band has heard that she could be distantly related to this Day family.  She has Bain and Murray connections.

Some of your previous posts on Old Photographs, Recognition, Handwriting Deciphering - Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs Board (12 January 2017) ask for restoration for Alick Bain born 1824 and his wife 1830  ??? ???

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=762871.msg6143900#msg6143900

and another for Christy Bain  ??? ???

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=759288.msg6101029#msg6101029

If you have further information on the Bain family and the connection to Day it would be helpful.

Coincidentally there is a 1891 Canadian Census Muskoka Simcoe showing Alex Bain born 1824 Scotland ...........   Does he belong to your family ??? ???

Alex Bain   67 Born Scotland.
Jane Bain   52 Born Scotland.
Margart Bain 25 Born Scotland.
John Bain   21 Born Ontaruo 1870.
Maran Bain 16 Born Ontario 1875.
Edward Hunt 15

There are marriages for John Bain and Marian Forest Bain in Muskoka Ontario. Are these part of your Bain Family  ??? ??? Parents Alexander Bain and Jane Horn

The Alexander Bain in my Family Tree never left Scotland.

The only other information I got concerning the Days is that they could be connected to sporting club.

Hi,

Perhaps the Silver Willow Sporting Club, owned by the Day Family, in Mountain View County, Alberta. Carstairs is in that County.
