This family history tells the story of Samuel Day / O’Day (1838?-1938) and his wife, Mary Ward (1857-1940) (pictured on the front cover), and their descendants, as well as the family origins as known. Samuel was born in Bothwell, Tasmania and he married Mary in Melbourne in 1872. They had 14 children, 7 recorded with the name DAY and 7 as O’DAY, although they used both names at will. The family lived in Victoria: in Eddington in the Ballarat-Bendigo goldfields and later in Gippsland, where they had grazing property at Darriman, south of Sale.

Their descendants now live predominantly in Victoria and NSW. Their daughters married into these surnames: BOURKE, FIELD, GREENING, LAWSON.

This family history was written in 2009 on behalf of Shirley Custance (née DAY)(1927-2015) to ensure that her decades of research into the DAY/O’DAY and related families are recorded in a permanent form as her legacy to the family. Contributions, stories and photos, were sought from other descendants and are acknowledged in the book. Other family names in Victoria & NSW include ALLEN, GRATION, McDOUGALL, MEREDITH, OWENS, POWELL, WARD, and more.

Published privately in 2009. 160 pages, with ~150 portraits, maps & other images - FULLY INDEXED
