It is quite possible that is him as according to census records Henry Snr remained in Bedfont/Staines for his entire life

He also went on to 'be with' his first cousin after leaving Elizabeth - not sure if they married or not.

Thank you again

If - and only if - this is the child's father's death, not surprising that I couldn't find a 'marriage' for his mother to Burnham

Thank you so much Reggie! Apparently Henry Day married an unknown woman (Elizabeth) in 1886 and had Henry Jnr in 1887 and left her very early into the marriage so this makes perfect sense!

Thank you very much for clearing this up for me :-D

Apologies - hadn't refreshed before seeing your last post - thank you again!

Ah thank you Reggie, I believe his father is Henry Day c1866 born Bedfont, Middlesex if that helps at all?

I've been trying for 1891...no luck yet

Nor can I see a marriage for John Burnham/Elizabeth Day

Thank you jansmith!
Could anyone possibly find him in 1891 census records please? Would be very grateful :-)
