Research Notes
- In 1861, a Lawrence Day aged 72 was living with the family. Possible father of Alfred?
- A younger brother was referred to in his Obituary as Rev. Dr. Day. He was likely still living in 1894. Based on census records, this brother was likely the Rev. Dr. George E. Day of Sheffield born circa 1836.
