Passport of Charles Lewis Day states he was born 4 Dec 1860 in London and that his father was John Day.  He first immigrated to US in 1876

Florida death certificate states he was born 4 Dec 1859 in London and that his father was John L Day and mother, Jane Lewis.

Wow

Thank you all so much! It really is much appreciated.

That's 100% our family Ann and she did round her age down by 4 years.

I have the birth certificates of Ann and her siblings. In total three lines moved to the USA. Two to Australia and three siblings died young.

Anns father died in Okehampton, Devon where the Lewis family originated. They had strong connections there.

The death certificate is online too - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FP79-327  I don't know if it was when this thread was started.
