He's a bit young, but not too much.
Yes, I was looking at that. This family are usually pretty accurate with ages, but of course it depends who registered the death. There are very few other candidates. I'll probably get the death cert even if just to eliminate him.

It doesn't leave much time for Mr Marsh to appear!

No. Perhaps Clara was already living with Mr Marsh before Arthur Day's death and then by the time Arthur died it may have been too late for her to marry Mr Marsh.

Indeed. There's quite a gap between Horace (1878) and Ethel (1886) which could be significant...or not.

Anyway, I've sent for the 1889 death cert for Arthur to see if he's the right one. Thanks for your help!

There's more than one Church/Day marriage and I think I remember confirming that Wallace Frank was a child of the other couple (baptism? I don't remember!!). I don't remember John Frederick at all though.

Hmmm.... now I'm wondering if the one I'm thinking of was not that name (I think it was something unusual) and might have been a bit later date. I do know there was another marriage getting in the way though!

There's a Medway marriage. An Elizabeth Harriet Day (mmn Church) is living with her aunt Ann nee Church in 1891.

Oh, forget me, it was 1889, so after those births. The 1889 marriage was for Albert Day and Emily Florence Church in West Ham district. I was looking at 1890s births before I knew Clara was by then a Freemantle!

Yes, that mops up Daisy. (Thank goodness, as I notice that that family includes an actress)

And no proof that those two boys were Clara's sons, without certificates.
