Hi

This won't help with the marriage but I have found the family in 1871.

Forge Row, Christ Church, Rawmarsh

Thomas Day aged 36 boilermaker born Ulster
Elizabeth aged 32 born Kidderminster
Five children, the eldest being 13 but I can't read the place of birth, perhaps someone else might be able to help.

RG10-4708
Folio 16 Page 26

Regards

Kirstie

Thanks Kirstie,

I have seen this census also 1881 and 1891 with slightly different ages, unfortunately I cannot find anything prior to 1871.

I had hoped finding Elizabeth's maiden name would help me find the marriage and then more about Thomas. The later census records list him as born in Cork.

Thank you for looking it up.

Hi

I just noticed that the age of the eldest child might make the marriage a bit earlier.

A bit of a long shot, but in 1851 there is a Thomas Day age 20 from Ireland lodging in Ipsley, Warwickshire which is not too far from Kidderminster. He is a Sugar Boiler. The age is a bit out - but maybe he was pretending to be older to get a job!

Regards

Kirstie
