Hi Mike, could you look up the following marriage for me when you have time?

Elizabeth Ann Day, married Samuel Weston in Leicester, 2nd quarter of 1890.

I'm trying to find out if she's the daughter of Henry Hales Day and Rebecca Pool.

Thanks,
Mary

Elaine, the procedure for applying for a will from York is explained here.

I gather York take several weeks; Cardiff are supposed to be quicker, but I haven't tried them yet.

Greeting's again......Mary O' Italy

Any educated guesses as to which Church the Marriage was conducted in ?

MIKE.

Most of the family got married at St Margaret's, but the marriage isn't listed on the David Mann page.

In 1881 she was living in East Bond Street, so maybe All Saints.

Don't waste too much time searching if you don't have it on a conveniently searchable disc, though.

Greeting’s again…….. Mary O’ Italy.

Yes saw that one …..But I’m not sure if that’s the right one

She is down only as ELIZABETH Day aged 20. c 1861.( 4 years out ? )

I was looking at a better one :~

1881.Census RG 11 / 3174 / 128 / Page. 18.

No 5. Henshaw Street
ELIZABETH ANN Day aged 16 c 1865. ( spot on ? )
Daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth.

Ancestery as her as Elizabeth J Day
But my Index Census returns Disc down as Elizabeth A. Day

On 1891. Census Elizabeth & Samuel. after their marriage Cert No 7 a 335.
are living at No 3 Henshaw Street.
Which seems a better match ?

Could be St. Mary’s Parish Church a better choice for marriage ?

Hi Mike,

Yes, I was just looking at the censuses, and I think I've got the wrong marriage.

That Elizabeth Ann Day from Henshaw Street seems to have been the one who married Samuel Weston, whereas my Elizabeth Day is the one born in 1861; in 1881 she was living with her uncle and aunt, my great-grandparents William and Maria Pool, in East Bond Street. Her parents were Henry Day and Rebecca Pool.

She isn't in the 1891 census under the name of Day, but I've now found a more likely marriage; her age fits in 1891, and some of her children have the same names as her sisters.

This marriage took place in Leicester in the 3rd quarter of 1884, between Alfred Edward Albert Vaughan Winter(s), widower, and Elizabeth Day.

It wasn't at St. Margaret's, which is where Alfred married his first wife, Jane.

I'm interested in finding out what happened to Elizabeth, because all the rest of her family seem to have died young (one of her sisters was the Louisa Day who had all the Freer children who died in infancy you found for me ages ago). She and her sisters were taken in by my GG-grandparents Hannah and Joseph Pool when their mother died.

Greeting’s again Mary O’ Italy……

Right !!! …Screws up several pages. …… Aims for the bin…….:0)))

Did I read it right you have NOT found Elizabeth on the 1891. Census ?

Have you looked at this one ? :~ RG 12 / 2522 / 50 / Pages 41 ~ 42.
Belgrave.
No 5, Newington Street.

Right on the bottom of the census page 41.

Alfred aged 46. Elizabeth 30. Winters.

MIKE. xxx

Oh dear, sorry about that.

I meant that I didn't find Elizabeth with the surname Day in 1891, but I did find Elizabeth and Alfred Winter(s) in 1891 and 1901. They're in Shepshed in 1901.

That's how I knew Alfred was a widower - his children by his first marriage are living with him and Elizabeth.

That Elizabeth's age does fit my Elizabeth Day, and some of her children's names are those of her sisters (Louisa and Janet).

Thanks Mary

Have just got back from a family do in Blackpool so will have a look later

Hi Mike

Karen of Brisbane

Greeting’s again. ……… Karen O’ Brisbane.

Trawled the Parish Marriage Registers for Buckminster 1754. ~ 1798.

But NO Harley events showed up…..:0(((

BAPTISMS :~

ANNO DOMINI 1788.
John Son of Henry & Ann Harley…….Bapt.12th. October. Daniel Hitchin. Curate.

ANNO DOMINI 1790.
Ann daughter of Henry & Ann Harley. Bapt.19th. November.Wm.Bissile. Curate.

Seeing the early dates we are researching then I’m afraid any information gained will only be very basic. Therefore might not give place of birth. ....:0(((

Hi Mike

Sorry for the delay in replying..have spent the weekend in Melbourne, went to see the musical 'Wicked'.. what a great show...

Tks so much for the info. I am currently 'trying' to read a 'film' at my local LDS family history centre on Buckminster..its so faint its almost impossible to read unless one is expert at reading these things and I am not.. Just thought you might have access to other info...

Tks once again.. till next time...
