I did wonder if Arthur Day and Mr Marsh are one and the same. However, there are no sensible Arthur Marsh deaths, and I couldn't really get inspired to look hard, because it's not all that likely that they are the same person.

I agree there is probably something going on! I was only able to track Ethel because she helpfully had several forenames and she stuck with those most of the time.

I'm really surprised just how common the name Arthur Day was in the 1850s. I didn't think the name Arthur was so common until a few decades later.

I did wonder if Clara met Oliver Freemantle in the course of his work as a police officer!!
