Jemima Thornley is Harriet's mother and Charles is the brother that is living with Harriet in 1901. Harriet is still married at this point, so the death registration given earlier is still looking good.

At this point Mark, I would be very tempted to buy the certificate found by Artbeat for the Charles P Day/Jane E Buxton marriage.

This will give you the names of their fathers and will hopefully confirm that Charles' father was indeed George Day. If that is the case then you could get the certificate for the George Day/Harriet Thornely marriage to go one step further back.

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

And possibly Harriet's birth registration

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

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.

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

many thanks for new info

Births Sep 1884 (>99%)
Day Charles Percival Basford 7b 174

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

This is possibly the Charles P Day who married Jane E Buxton ?

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.

No sorry no idea

Have you any idea when Charles died?
