Arthur Day
I’m trying to find out what happened to Arthur Day, who vanishes after 1881.
He was born in Limehouse, Middlesex 23 April 1853, worked as a printer, and married Clara Sophia Church 6 Feb 1875 at St Paul, Bow Common, Middlesex. They had 2 children that I can find – Charles Christopher Church Day in 1877, and Horace Ernest in 1878. In 1881 the family are living with Clara’s parents in Limehouse: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...e&pId=15315143 Son Horace died age 5 in West Ham, Essex in 1884. In 1891 son Charles is in an Industrial School in Islington, but I can’t find Arthur or Clara. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...ce&pId=7989909 In 1901 I think Clara might be the widow in the London Hospital (who dies soon after age 48). https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...e&pId=17746837 It seems likely Arthur died or otherwise disappeared soon after the 1881 census but I’ve drawn a complete blank in trying to pin him down (and so have all the Ancestry trees he appears on). Can anyone find anything to prove what happened to him? Last edited by Lindsay; 24-08-20 at 20:07. Reason: typo |

It's no help, but they also seem to have had a son, Charles Arthur b 1875 d 1876 in West Ham district.
Also, Ethel Constance Victoria Day mmn Church GRO Reference: 1886 S Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 19

I don't know where this is going to go and I don't know if I have time to get to the end before I have to go out in the gale to visit my mum, but here goes....!
I didn't think this death was particularly likely to be connected, as the birth date is the wrong year and it just felt like the wrong place in the country. Plus no Day to Mitten marriage: Name: Ethel Constance V Mitten Death Age: 96 Birth Date: 7 Jul 1888 Registration Date: Feb 1985 Registration district: Birmingham Inferred County: West Midlands Volume: 32 Page: 339 Then, 1939 Register, Ethel's dob gets better: 93 South Road Birmingham William A Mitten 12 Dec 1886 married postman Ethel C Mitten 7 Jul 1886 married unpaid domestic duties Marriage: Marriages Dec 1918 Freemantle Ethel C V Mitten Tamworth 6b 721 Mitten Albert W Freemantle Tamworth 6b 721 So, wrong surname for Ethel and his forenames switched about. I wondered if she was a war widow, but 1) no prev marriage I could find and 2) two sons born in the 1920s surname Mitten, mmn Freemantle (there are two hidden entries with Ethel and Wm in 1939 who are probably these children). I spent a lot of time trying to find a birth reg for Ethel Freemantle with no luck. However, I saw this tree: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tr...=successSource which shows Ethel as being born in Stratford Essex which is where Ethel C V Day was baptised (for some reason when I copied and pasted the baptism yesterday the place didn't copy, but it was def Stratford). Also, the tree owner has Ethel's mother as a Clara, though surname Marsh and no dates etc for Clara. There's a school admission doc attached to the tree which shows Oliver W Freemantle as the father. Here they are in 1901 with Ethel b West Ham and Clara about the right age to be Clara Church/Day, b Poplar which is close enough to Limehouse. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...c&pId=15346575 The next stumbling bloc is that Oliver Freemantle and Clara Marsh married in 1890, so who is Clara? Here's the marriage: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...48&pId=2717673 Woo hoo!! Father of the widowed bride is James Church!!

So, this is probably the death of your Clara Church:
FREEMANTLE, CLARA SOPHIA 77 GRO Reference: 1932 S Quarter in BILLERICAY Volume 04A Page 508 I can't find her in 1891 or 1911 at the moment, but I've only had time to look for her without any spelling issues!

So, we still don't know what happened to Arthur Day or why Clara was called Marsh in 1890 (no Day/March marriage or Church/Marsh marriage).
I have to stop now!
