Richard Day is my GGG Grandfather who left England in 1837 for Australia. I have traced my family back to his father Luke and no further. Would anyone have any leads for me ?
(1) Richard DAY Born: 30 Dec 1818 (Minchinhampton, Glouc.) Died: 31 May 1900 (Adelaide. S.A.) Married on: 11 Sep 1837 at Rodborough, Glouc. Mary Ann HARRIS Bapt: 02 Apr 1817 (Probably Minchinhampton) Died: 20 Sep 1886 (Adelaide, S.A.)
(2) Charlotte DAY Born: 06 Aug 1820 Died: -not known- presumably in England
(3) George DAY Born: 19 Mar 1822 (presumably same area of Glouc.) Died: -not known- presumably in England
(4) Harriet DAY Born: 12 Jun 1825 (presumably same area of Glouc.) Died: 05 Jun 1850 (Amberley/Box area of Glouc.) unmarried
(5) Robert DAY Born: 17 Jun 1827 (presumably same area of Glouc.) Died: -not known- presumably in England
(6) Thomas DAY Born: 29 May 1831 (presumably same area of Glouc.) Died: -not known- presumably in England Married: 19 May 1855 (in England ?) Emile SMITH
PARENTS OF ABOVE:
Luke DAY Bapt: 26 Dec 1791 Died: 03 Apr 1854 (Buried: Amberley, Glouc.) Married: 02 Feb 1818 Elizabeth NEWMAN Bapt: 1785 Died: 15 Feb 1855
As Richard DAY was baptized at Minchinhampton, Glouc., his parents would have resided in the area (Minchinhampton-Littleworth-Box-Amberley-Forwood). However towards the latter part of their life, Richard-s parents - Luke & Elizabeth DAY lived a few miles away at Amberley, on a piece of land known as Culver House(Farm). Their residence is there today, and has been significantly enlarged since Luke-s time. Luke and Elizabeth are buried in the nearby cemetery at Amberley (opposite the Inn), with their unmarried daughter Harriet.
So my lineage is…. Luke Day (Glou - England) Richard Day (England - Adelaide/Australia) Luke Day Hedley Percy Day Douglas Day Dennis Day Trent Day (Adelaide – Australia)
Thank You
Trent Day
