Hiya, thank you for your reply. I will have to look myself again. Sorry didn't notice it before obviously. Thank goodness for that anyhow, I was getting worried.

Kind regards

Looking at the actual images Robert & his family live at No 36 and Rebecca Walsh and son Percival live at No 38.....so two different families just mis-transcribed!

Hi again, just noticed on the 1911 Census for Robert Percy Day that there are two further people apart from the Day family. One is a Rebecca Walsh given as aged 66 and being the mother of the head of the house and the other is Percival Walsh being a son aged 24. I have Robert Percy Day's parents as being Robert Day and Ellen Selina Day. Anyone any ideas on this please?

Kind regards

Hi again, thank you for this information on Sissie (Cissie), no wonder sometimes it's tricky researching as they change the spelling of names etc. I always say another pair of eyes are helpful.

Thank you so much.

Kind regards

Hiya, sorry, just wondered if anyone can find a marriage for her, have also looked but yet again I believe another pair of eyes are needed?

The Eliza Ellen given working in Brighton seems more likely although she is given as Ellen E as the birth year is the same as has been found for her. The first one was born in 1877 which is a little out but I know all information can be important as if it doesn't tie in now it may well later on.

Once again thank you everyone for your time and help.

Kind regards

Kathryn, what else did you want on Sissie - I thought it was just the discrepancy in names between the 1901 and 1911 that you wanted clarified?

Possible marriage:

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1922
Day Cissie E Smith Fulham 1a 688
SMITH Charles Day Fulham 1a 688

Hiya, can't find now where I got Eliza's middle name from. Have so many pieces of paper around me where I scribble things down. Will check on the place in Hertfordshire and see if it's near Watford. Thank you for this find.

Still can't find anything further on Sissie as well?

Kind regards

The FindMyPast version of the 1901 has the daughter as Sissie so your version must be a transcription error:

Hello Marie, I couldn't find one but then sometimes another pair of eyes are helpful.

Kind regards

Hi Kathryn, not unusual for names to differ a bit, I wouldn't say that they were completely different at all. I guess the "L" on Lisse should have been an "S" on the 1901.

Were there no possible marriages for Eliza Day?

Kathryn

Kathryn Report 21 Oct 2012 14:57

Hello, can anyone help please. I have the following:-

Robert Percy Day born c 1876 London. Died 1950, Fulham, London.

He marries in 1898 in Fulham Sarah Mann.

In the 1901 Census they have a daughter given as Lisse E (Eleanor) Day born about 1899, Hammersmith.

In the 1911 Census it is given that they have a daughter (along with other children) named Sissie Ellen Day born about 1900 in Fulham.

As the names of the daughter are completely different am wondering if this is the same family? Could anyone help please with this query?

I also have a sibling of Robert's, Eliza E Day born 1874 in Watford but can find nothing on her beyong the 1891 Census,any help with this would also be greatly appreciated.

I have also posted a thread on Ancestry regarding this query.

Kind regards

Kathryn
