Find Living Relatives

I would love to contact any descendants of my grandfather's brother Charles Day who was born in Swallowfield, Berkshire, in 1846 but lived most of his life in Slough, then in Buckinghamshire. Charles and his wife Alice had 11 children all born in Slough between 1870 and 1896.

Start with search trees to see if anyone on GR is researching them

Otherwise.......use freebmd to look for marriages etc of the children...................and their children.............

One of the 11 had died by the time the 1911 census was taken

Family may be the informant.

Thanks for all this advice and information. I have details of the children and some of the grandchildren of Charles and Alice although I had not got as far as the marriage of Kathleen P Day and her family's emigration to Canada. I was really hoping I had a second cousin (or more likely their descendent) out there who would like to exchange information. I was brought up within a few miles of Slough but never knew my father had cousins there.

Have you followed the advice about using 'search trees'?
