South Africa / Re: Arthur and Annie Day in East London
« on: Tuesday 09 October 18 18:59 BST (UK) »
Hi Lyn,
Her name appears on my mum´s baptism certificate - dd Dec 1928, in East London - Church of Immaculate Conception and then her name appears on my maternal grandfather´s probate record (1946- her husband)- a note in the margin states that the former wife died ca. 11 years before - 1935 which tallies with what my mum believed - the mother "left" them when my mum was about 7. Her father obviously didn´t say she´d died.
I´m on family search but not on ancestry

Hi Lyn,
thanks for this information. I saw her baptism certificate on family search but thought she might have been too old as my grandfather was born ca 1906, according to his probate record dated 1946. I have absolutely no information about her or her family though and I´d be very interested to find out any more that you may know about her or her family, could you send me a PM, please? TIA

Thanks for the feedback. I have a tree on family search with AH Day (my maternal grandfather) and the probate record is the only document I have with an approx. birth year. Arthur Harold DAY is my grandfather and I can't find any paper trail for him besides this probate record.
His wife, my maternal grandmother, Annie Maria Johanna Fourie hasn´t any entries anywhere either, that I can find. I´m trying to establish whether his father was Harold Birkbeck DAY born in Ripley,Derbyshire - son of Arthur DAY, born 1856 in Bedfordshire, England.
The naming pattern seems to be an accurate indicator but without documented verification, I´m stuck.

South Africa / Arthur and Annie Day in East London

I´m desperately trying to find dates and/or a marriage record for Arthur Harold Day, born in Port Elizabeth in ca. 1906 and Annie Maria Johanna Fourie, dates unknown.
They lived in East London in the late 1920s, have a son and daughter, born 1928 and 1929.
They later moved to CT, where Arthur was an accountant and Annie is supposed to have died ca. 1935 but I have no records for this event either. Arthur died in 1946.
Are there any Day or Fourie relatives that know this couple? I´m trying to trace their ancestors.
