Esther DAY born circa 1802 Padstow

[andrew shanks]

I am seeking any information about Esther Day who was born about 1802 at Padstow, Cornwall. 

I believe that she married a William Cuming (place/date) unknown and moved to Devon.  They had 4 children as follows:

Harry d.o.b. unknown
William Henry Cuming born 1832 at Plymouth
Esther W. Cuming born circa 1835 at Plymouth
Hannah Cuming born 1841 at Plymouth

If anyone knows anything about Esther Day, especially her parents/birth details I would be grateful for any assistance.

Hi Deb

Thank you for this - looks like you are onto the right family here.  The address is a bit strange - presumably it is a pub?

I will be very interested to see what else can be found.

Hi Deb

Thank you for looking up these census records for me.

I have just discovered from another Rootschatter that Esther Day was in fact Esther Day Wilson and that her parents were a George Wilson and a Patty

According to the IGI Esther Day Wilson was christened 9 Feb 1805 at Padstow.  I guess the next task is to try to establish who this George Wilson & Patty are.  I could not find a marriage for them in the IGI.  I wonder whether they might still have been around the Padstow area at the time of the 1841 census?

Hi,

That baptism you have is as it appears.

George WILSON of this Town = Martha DAY same spinster by Licence 20 Feb 1798 Padstow both signed witnesses Charles H ? and Eliz ? (Sorry but not Wilson or Day)

Cheers Kris 

NOTE: Rechecking just see you say Patty. I thought it said Polly - will clarify directly
