Where do you get his parents names from? Do you have his birth certificate confirming these and his date of birth?

Have you found him on the 1881 census?

The only one I find is:

1881
Wood Row, Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex
Emma Day Head Wid 44 Essex Takeley
Charles son Unm 18 Agricultural Labourer Essex Hatfield Broad Oak
David son Unm 17             "                "           "               "
Ellen daur 9 Scholar                                         "              "
RG11; Piece: 1814; Folio: 9; Page: 12
Another family of Days living a couple of doors away

You can find these on www.familysearch.org.  If they aren't your family, perhaps you could give David's details from there and we can check again backwards.

phrishy,

Thank you for being quick in your reply. I cannot help you any further. It's an enquiry through my website and I wanted to point them in the right direction. I found the same entry as you on the 1881 census.

I suspect that they may have some wrong information somewhere.
I'll make some suggestions to them.

Phil
