Birthplace is British Subject - then someting I can't decipher which ends in plant - and the margin says NS

His birthyear lets him out as the 1836 b Cranbrook as does the birthplace

Wife Mary's birthplace of Oxford ties in with the 1851 census I found with her parents Matthew & Rachel

Looking at that link above - marriage year is incorrect.  However - how could the 1881 William Day marry in 1858 - he was only b 1844

Quote
William Gilbert Day: We can find no trace of him prior to his marriage in 1858 - we have his cert (but can find no trace of a Samuel Day) and then he is in every census till 1911, with details of his family


What is his birthplace and birthyear on each of the censuses

Thank you for your interest and your input - we hadn't realised there was anything like RootsChat until we started this yesterday.  The marriage date for William Day is correct as we  have his marriage cert.  The author of the GenBrit input (July 2003) is a distant cousin and we have tried to pool knowledge with him on this matter.   Between the two families there seems to be a lot of circumstantial evidence that they are the same man, but we don't think we will ever know for sure because of gaps in the census and military records.  Our question to you was a hope that someone else might have been able to put another piece in the jigsaw. :)  If we could find a William Day, born in Cranbrook around 1836 with a father Samuel or the death of an ex-soldier William Gilbert post 1866, it might help us get an answer.  Thank you for your efforts, but I think we will rest on this one now. :)
