Individual Details
SIMON WILLIAM DAY
(23 Oct 1827 - 18/21 APR 1897)
Burial date from gravestone says he died 18 April 1897 (age72) and the burial records state he died 21 April 1897 at age 70. Records also at Broadalbin United Church, PEI. 1891 Census... he says he is 64 yrs old. Family group sheet I have states marriage 25 April 1850.
This Simon Day and family are in the 1861 census, 1 b. England (Simon), 1 b. Island (Mary Ann Andrews) and 5 children. They listed nothing on age of these children, males or females. But they had 1 horse, 5 cows, 8 sheep and 3 hogs. they had 50 acres of land (2nd grade) located on Little Rennie Rd, Wheatley River on which they raised 1 ton of hay, 18 bushels of wheat, 7 bushels of barley, 200 of oats, 30 of buckwheat and 150 of potatoes. They made 40 pounds of butter. Simon himself must have met the census taker in the barn. He couldnt remember ages of his children, but knew his crops. Simon must have been living on Lot 23 given to him by his father. I show Simon living in Wellington, PEI on Lot 23. Sources have been: Church records from Trinity Church, Charlottetown, PEI; Vital Records from PEI; 1861 Census of PEI. [Lucy Fandek]
