The information I have is as follows.

Charles Percival Day aged 21 married 1939 to Elizabeth Buck aged 19. This gives birth years of

1918 for Charles Percival Day and a birth year of 1921 for Elizabeth Buck. Charles from Southport and Elizabeth from Birkdale a sub-district of Southport . Unforuntely I am unable to see anyone related to these families who are a member of genes reunited.

Only birth that appears around 1918.

Elizabeth Buck's birth registration

Births Mar 1920 (>99%)
Buck Elizabeth Roberts Ormskirk 8b 2122

Marriage registration for her parents?

Marriages Mar 1918 (>99%)

Buck Ernest Roberts Ormskirk 8b 1220
ROBERTS Catherine Buck Ormskirk 8b 1220

Possibly a sister for Elizabeth?

Births Jun 1929 (>99%)
BUCK Mary Roberts Ormskirk 8b 1396

Southport is in the Ormskirk registration district - this is the only Charles Day born in the Ormskirk district after 1900

Births Dec 1913 (>99%)
Day Charles A Williams Ormskirk 8b 1580

Have you got the information from the marriage certificate? In which case, does it say Southport as his residence? That isn't necessarily where he was born and his birth is more than likely the one found by Artbeat

Births Dec 1913 (>99%)
Day Charles A Williams Ormskirk 8b 1580


Do not know who this is as my ancestor states father Charles Percival Day

They were living in Southport at the time of marriage

What are the fathers names given on the marriage certificate?

Charles Percival Day - same as son - father deceased
and Ernest Buck

Have you any idea when Charles died?

No sorry no idea

That's cool - the marriage registration I gave you earlier for Elizabeth's parents is the correct one.

If you want to go back further on that line you could order the marriage certificate to see who their father's were.

I've got to go off-line for a while now - making aromatherapy lotions and potions with a friend's grand-daughter. I'll come back to this later.

Have you had a look at freeBMD to see if you can find a marriage between Charles Day and a female Buxton sometime before 1918? That will give you the name of Charles' mother.

I'll check in later and see how you're doing.

If this was Charles father, reg district matches the one for your Charles that Artbeat first gave you

many thanks for new info

From the census information given by Wilma, and the fact that Charles Thornily is down as being her brother then this could be the marriage registration for Charles P Day and Harriet

Marriages Mar 1884 (>99%)

Day George Geeson Basford 7b 256
SIMPSON Sarah Basford 7b 256
THORNELY Harriet Basford 7b 256
WATKINSON John Basford 7b 256

This is probably the father's birth registration

Births Sep 1857 (96%)
Day George Beeson Belper 7b 386

I would recommend that you do verify this by purchasing marriage certificates, at the very least - just to make sure you're on the right track.

And possibly Harriet's birth registration

Births Sep 1851 (>99%)
THORNELY Harriet Basford 15 459

This looks like a possible candidate for George Day's death, given that Wilma found Harriet as a widow in 1901.

Deaths Mar 1898 (>99%)
Day George 42 Mansfield 7b 35
