This is totally speculative as the only name that is also on the Marriage cert is Michael.


1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census

8, James Street, Lambeth, London, England

Michael Deay Head Married Male 52 1809 ... Ireland
Bridget Deay Wife Married Female 40 1821 - Ireland
Sarah Deay Daughter Unmarried Female 10 1851 Scholar City of London, Middlesex, England

Michael is a tailor and birthplace is given as Limerick, Bridget's birthplace is also Limerick.

Barbara could be Michael's wife, but could just as easily be Mary's sister, or even sister in law if she were married to a brother of Mary's, or even an aunt or cousin.

I can't find a baptism for Mary in Limerick with father Michael in the indexed Irish Catholic records online.

You can browse through say, the records for KIlrush, to see if anything's been missed, but they're not overly legible.

Kucinta I think I did something wrong about answering you so will send it again.
Mary Days father was Michael Day a tailor, on the marriage certificate there
is a Barbara Day and a John Day as witnesses on the certificate the surname seems to change from Deay to Day the address they were living at was
49 High Street. Would Barbara be Michaels wife?

Not having much joy with Michael's parents :-( do you have the name of Mary Day's father from the marriage cert?

Possibility of sons? Gorman births in Marylebone district with mother maiden name DAY.

JOHN

GORMAN, JOHN DAY
GRO Reference: 1873 D Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 541

Died as an infant?
Deaths Dec 1873 Gorman John 0 Marylebone 1a 421

THOMAS

GORMAN, THOMAS DAY
GRO Reference: 1877 M Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 596

Died as an infant?

Deaths Mar 1877 GORMAN Thomas 0 Marylebone 1a 408


Births of the two girls:

GORMAN, MARGARET DAY
GRO Reference: 1875 J Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 562

GORMAN, MARY DAY
GRO Reference: 1871 J Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 537

Another, unnamed male child, mother maiden name DAY

GORMAN, - DAY
GRO Reference: 1882 J Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 607

Births Jun 1882 Gorman Male Marylebone 1a 607

Died without being given a name:

Deaths Mar 1882 Gorman Male 0 Marylebone 1a 517

EDIT: I can see I've got a birth registered in the June qtr, and the death in the March qtr. Given the child didn't live long enough to have a name, it's possible he was born late in the March qtr and his death was registered in that qtr, but for whatever reason his birth (with mother maiden name DAY) was registered early in the June qtr.

Sad that none of the boys lived.

Welcome to genesreunited, Helen,

You appear to have Michael Gorman, born 1841 'Kirush Co Clare' in your tree. The spelling mistake means it is difficult for others to pick up the correct man, I searched for Clare.

What information do you have for him, so we do not duplicate information?

There are lots of births in Kilrush for the name Michael Gorman. As Kucinta has already said, you need to give more details, i.e. birth year.
