Title: day
Post by: caroleh1 on Sunday 15 April 07 19:42 BST (UK)

I am looking for a Wyndam Day who may also been known as Wyn Canton. I have been told that he was a showman or circus entertainer.  He was born in Cardiff in about 1880 and his wife was either Harriet Matilda Seward or Matilda Harriet Seward.  (She was known as both).  Any information would be great
Many thanks
Carole

Thanks Barbara
I have that census thanks although I think the surname is a spelling mistake and should be Day.
I am looking for any information after 1891 as he appears to have disappeared after that time!!!!
Thanks again
Carole
