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.

Here is Charles Percival Day, born 1884 Basford - 1891 census
