Somerset / Re: Day family from Axbridge area of Somerset
« on: Thursday 01 February 24 04:33 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you again, amondg!

I will contact the South West Heritage Trust.

There are at least 5 successive Daniels, so who is Senior and who is Junior depends on where you are in that pedigree, I guess.  I do have a Daniel Day who was buried on 1 Feb 1820, so I will check that one out.

Your mention of John Ham is interesting too.  There is a Daniel Day married to Elizabeth Ham somewhere in this jigsaw, so that could be useful.

Thanks again,  Sue.

Thank you Trish and amondg!
Yes, all the people you have mentioned are as I have on my tree, which is very encouraging!  There are so many Daniel Days and most of them are married to someone named Mary!
Trish thank you for reminding me about FreeREG.  I have used it some years ago but had forgotten about it.

Somerset / Day family from Axbridge area of Somerset
« on: Tuesday 30 January 24 01:19 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching the Day family. Two brothers, Alfred and Albert Day,  sons of Isaac Day from Weare, emigrated to South Australia in 1865.  I am trying to construct a family tree of that family, based on records. I have pretty much exhausted my usual sources e.g. FindMyPast.  What is the best website that allows me access to Somerset BMD information prior to 1865?   Thank you.

Thank you Shaun!  Actually, looking more closely, it look as though she may have been the last person in Clarence Place, rather than the first person in Clapton Square.  What do you think?  I don't suppose it makes much difference, I assume that both addresses were a similar standard of dwellings.

London and Middlesex / Mary Brookes 1841 Census Clapton Square
« on: Saturday 16 December 23 05:35 GMT (UK)  »
Mary Brookes, a possible relative, born c. 1800, is shown on the 1841 Census as living in Clapton Square in the Borough of Tower Hamlets. These appear to have been 1 person dwellings, presumably flats. She is described as being of independent means. She would not have been well-off, but possibly a pensioned off servant of an aristocratic family. Is anyone familiar with these dwellings and is that a likely place for such a person to have lived at that time?
Thank you.

Australia Resources & Offers / Twins named Harfield and Gilmore
« on: Thursday 10 August 23 10:04 BST (UK)  »
The parents of twins Harfield and Gilmore born in Broken Hill in 1912 were asked about the reason for the unusual choices of first names. They answered that twins named Harfield and Gilmore featured in a book they had read. Google searches have failed to find such a book.  Does anyone have any knowledge of such a book, published before 1912 in either Australia or the UK?  I realise that this is a strange request, but I know there are some clever people out there!
We don't need information about the actual family, just about the book and its twin characters,
Thank you.
