Clara Emily Parsons
I'm posting this on behalf of Bestie who is trying to fill in some gaps in the
rather colourful life of g/grandmother. Clara Emily was b 10.3.1862, parents William Renshaw & Elizabeth,nee Taylor, in Bernard St, Sheffield.Ist husband was Arthur Parsons & she appears to have later m Alan Anderson Day, but this is where things get a bit murky as friend has his b date as 1916 & d 1936. Something is obviously amiss & I've told her you are just the ones to sort it out as you love a bit of a challenge. Along the way Clara also gave birth to a son, William Edward, the result of an affair with neighbour's brother. Son was killed on the first day of the battle of the Somme.At some point she abandoned her family & took off to Boston, friend thinks to be with William's father. Anything you could help with would be much appreciated, particularly Alan Anderson Day's role in this story. |

It looks as if 1916 should be their wedding date, not Allen's birthdate which appears to be in 1861. In 1911 he was married with a large family: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...697%2F0613%2F1
He was then married to Sarah Jane for 27 years with 6 living children, 4 still at home, one a soldier and all born in Stockbridge.

Let's try again re Allen, though. Their marriage is on FMP and he is single and a clerk. Full name Allen Harrison Day, born 1861 and in 1911 he is living with his Mum, Margaret at 66 Albert Terrace Road Sheffield.
