John Day,
"Stone Mason" [according to Sarah Hotchkin's will],
mar 1802 to Ann Fairchild [bapt 15 May 1780],
living Cambridge for children's births,
in 1826 the will of Ann's aunt Sarah Hotchkin refers to her niece "Ann the wife of John Day ... Stone Mason" and says that John and Ann were then living Stamford, Lincolnshire,
he possibly died pre-1841,
she must be "Anne Day", age 60, not born Middlesex, listed as staying with her son Charles in Westminster, London, in 1841 census,
he is probably not John Day, carpenter, age 60 (born 1781, Cambridgeshire) who is listed in [UK census, 1841] at 5 Bencher Row (unidentified), parish of St Andrew the Less, Cambridge; listed as living with Sarah Day, age 50 (born 1791, Cambridgeshire), but doesn't say what their relationship is,

2. Mary Ann Day,
   bapt 25 Nov 1804, St.Botolph's church, Cambridge (maybe twin),
