Looking for DAY Family member

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to find a lady H....y DAY, born 1939, father Harold Stanhope Day born c1913 in Derby.

I believe that this lady is a living relative of my father on his Maternal side and also has information on my Father's Paternal side.

As I have a very extensive tree and I am led to believe she too has an online tree (cannot find) we could be of great help to each other and realise a family connection.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

Kind regards
Jackie

Presumably you have searched trees on this site for names common to you? Not that you 'appear' to have Harold Stanhope Day c 1913 in your tree.

Could you confirm that you have a thread on Ancestry related to this family?

On the other hand, a different tree has for Harold
Birth 8 Nov 1913 West Derby Lancashire England
Death
Westville, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa,
Cremated 6 Jul 1970 Age: 56

They have 3 hidden Day offspring.

They show a female Day marrying a male Tonkin, who in turn marries a female Robertson, leading to a root male. The tree owner is lizardpansylouise, and the tree lizardpansy. A lot of the births and deaths are in South Africa.

If they have found correct details, they may be able to tell you about the person you seek.


As you have access to Ancestry, it would be a good idea to search trees on that site, and send messages to all the relevant tree owners.

Think I've got her!!!

She has a tree on Ancestry under the name supermom0639_5201-26_2009-07-03-2

Her username is HILARYBUTCHER23
From her profile, last logged on this month

**I left for South Africa in 1944 and after having lived in South Africa, East Africa and I returned to England in 2005

All contacts will be replied to.


My mother was a "Brindle" and my father was "Day and they lived most of their life in West Derby, Liverpool. The Brindle's originated from Altcar - Litherland during the 1700-1800's.
Contact HILARYBUTCHER23

If you are unable to send a message via Ancestry, PM me (click on my name) with what you want to say and an email address, and I'll forward it.

EDIT ...EDIT.....There is someone with the same initial and surname listed in Hampshire on 192.com. Full address and phone number shown without payment. Its still probably best to contact via Ancestry, just in case its the wrong person.

:-D

Thankyou so much for that, I do in fact have Harold and many more Day family on my tree, but, I do not belong to Ancestry or have access to it, I do have a much larger tree on another site than the one here on GR.

I have just been cooking the evening meal and eaten, however I am back here for a short while tonight, but, as I do not subscribe to Ancestry, I will ask you to knidly send a message on my behalf as you have so kindly offered.

Kind regards
Jackie

PM received and message sent to her, which included the email address you provided. I've asked that she contacts you directly.

Hope it works out - the full profile implies she is interested in contacting fellow researchers.

Good luck

:-)
