Hi all
I am looking for
Thomas Day born Cambridgeshire 1783 married Mary (nee unknown) but Mary was born in East Halton Lincolnshire.
Children:
Hester Day dob 1846
Joab Day dob 1840
John Day dob 1837
Hester married William Southern
Children (know of)
Kate Southern
Hester then married a COOK?
ANyone who can help with Thomas and Mary (looking for Mary's birth family name) is very much appreciated
Thanks

All children were b Lincs
Given Thomas's birthyear - was Mary a second wife as she was only b 1806
Freebmd has a birth in 1840 for a Job Day Glanford Brigg - Lincs - is this him? 1851 shows birthplace for children as Ulceby
It may be advisable to buy a copy of Job's birth cert to get Mary's maiden name
Thomas Day born Cambridgeshire 1783
1861 shows birthplace as Bedfordshire
-
1841 shows older children Mary aged 12 and Betsey aged 9 - both b Lincs so any marriage is around 1826-1829

Thank you Carol
Thomas and Mary Day's daughter Hester was my great great grandmother.
If John was born in 1837 maybe they were married around there.. given they did not have children before which did not survive the census.....
I have also seen bedfordshire, but on ancestry.co.uk census 1851 showing Thomas, Mary, John, Joab and Hester, shows him as Cambridgeshire and I found a Thomas Day of that date from Wisbech, but not sure.
Thanks for your help with this

Have you seen my reply above re: 1841 census?

Thanks Carol
If Thomas and Mary had Joab (Job) in 1840 and John in 1837 then if these three children are from this couple, the Mary would have been 32.. that is quite late for first child.. isnt it?
Yes Hester, John and Joab all seem to be from Glanford Briggs Lincs...
Mary is East Heaton?? any idea where that is?
Hmmm interesting... maybe a second marriage
older children Mary aged 12 and Betsey aged 9 - both b Lincs so any marriage is around 1826-1829
Maybe I can get the birth cert of Hester to get Mary's details...
Hester married an older man as well
She married William Blakley Southern and then later married a COOK
William B, Southern born 1826 Hull
Hester born 1846.. 20 years as well...
odd??
thanks

There is an Esther Elizabeth on freebmd in 1846 in Glanford Brigg
-
Yeah...
Hester
Born Hester Day
on Kate Southern's birth cert is says
Esther Southern
Died Cook
Born Day
on her birth stone she is Hetty Cook..
I guess she used all the derivatives of Hester.. :)
thanks

Personally, I would buy a copy of Job's birth cert as it is more likely to be the correct one given the variations in Hesters name
-

The 1851 shows Thomas place of birth as Unknown, Ancestry has it transcribed as Unknown Lincolnshire but there is no County mentioned on the census so just an assumption.
I would agree with Carol that Job's birth certificate is the best way to go.
-
Yeah you are right
It is hard to know for sure.... best to get birth certificate
I have ancestry records saved... am I able to attach or are there copyright laws that prohibit this.
In the long form for 1851 (people in the house- handwritten) it says cambridge shire for Thomas and East Heaton for Mary...
on this there are only the three children John, Joab and Mary.. guessing Mary and Betsy could have been working / out the house / married... by then.
Thanks
