Moyle-Day Family Tree
The CDV were sold seperately without their album, which would've belonged to Marion Frances Day.
She was the daughter of
Robert Newcombe Day and Sarah Ann Solly. She had a dog called Oby
who was 7 years old in 1888. Her father was a surgeon and he testified in a gruesome murder case
in 1889.
You can read his report here: but be warned, it's graphic!
Fanny Day was Marion's aunt. Fanny married George Moyle, a reverend, and later a teacher. They
had 6 children, but George Moyle died before the 6th was born. George's father was a surgeon, which
is perhaps how he knew the Day family. The Day family was fond of George: when his daughter Catherine
died aged only 10 months old, she was buried with her grandparents: Francis Newcombe Day and
Elizabeth Collyns (pictured below). In the same family grave also lie 3 other Day members.
George Moyle's mother, Jane Baron, was very wealthy. She had 5 children in her first marriage, and
only George with her 2nd husband. George named his 2nd son after her: John Baron Moyle (pictured below).
Jane died
the following year but left everything to her first 5 children, and nothing to her son George, or her
grandson John Baron. She left behind 600 pounds, a lot of silver and valuables, and a lot of land.
The family home, Mulberry Green, was build in the late 18th century. Robert Newcombe Day lived there,
and so did his daughter Marion. In 2000 it was set on fire by an arsonist, destroying the interior. It was
rebuild again between 2006-2009 and made into 6 large apartments. It's still there today.
