Help finding info on Thomas Edward Day
« on: Saturday 20 July 19 06:40 BST (UK) »
Thomas Edward Day was in South Africa in 1904 and married my gr.grandmother Mary Cecilia O'Sullivan. I have their marriage certificate and a birth certificate for their daughter Nellie Eilly Day b. 1905. Both certificates say he was Canadian but I cant find a birth or death certificate for him in any country. I have no other details. Any suggestions?

How old was he in 1904?
If we know an approximate age the Canadian census would be a place to start.
How about passenger lists

Welcome to rootschat, Mariel.

When you say that you have no other details, did your great grandmother marry again, did Nellie marry and is her father showing as alive on her marriage certificate, what is Thomas's father's name or Thomas's occupation from the marriage or daughter's birth certificate?

Forget that, to young. :-[

Hi there and welcome to Rootschat.

Where did they live,die.

Did Nellie/Nelly marry if so when and where and to whom?
As she is the only one whom we have a year of birth for.
Was she actually born in South Africa?

You may think that you have little to go on,but we're good here on working with the tiniest scrap of info  ;D

I have no information regarding his age. My gr grandmother was 20 yrs old 1904 when they got married. I’ve tried the census, there are a lot of the same name but without an idea on his bday or parents it’s hard to sort.

My gr grandmother married twice more but I can’t find her marriage certificates. I have full info on Nellie and her marriages, her father is listed as deceased. His occupation on his marriage certificate is tradesman.
