Martha's origins based only on dates and area being suitable. Though born in Albury, Oxfordshire, in 1841 Martha was staying with (likely) grandparents at Aston Rowant,
much closer to Pyrton where David was born.
Following their marriage David and Martha emigrated to Australia, but details are not known. A passenger list entry gives a David Day and wife Martha (Holland) sailing to Port Adelaide on the 'Caucasian' in 1853, but no other David Day entries until their son David's birth in 1864 - parents named as David & Martha (Neighbur). They were living at Rapid Bay, South Australia, at the time.
A number of directory entries place David in the Rapid Bay area until 1870 - recorded as a farmer. From 1878 similar entries are found in directory listings from Minlaton, on the Yorke Peninsula. Death entries record the death of both David and Martha in this area. Also, another directory listing from 1924 gives 'David Day - rail gngr - Yunta', Yunta being a district between the Yorke Peninsula and Broken Hill. Could this be son David, working as a 'ganger' on the S.A. rail system ?
