Albert Day (b 1869)Mary L Overin (b 1871)married 1892 in New York their children were Frank 1893, Viola 1895, Grace 1896 and Vincent 1898.On the 1900 census it said that Albert was born in Ireland He had a Mother-in-law also living with them I think Katherine------- born in Ireland perhaps by then the father in law was deceased. The rest of the family appear to have been born in New York.
Brother-in-law Robert same name as Mother-in-law ?Probably Overin

Does anyone know about this family by the time the 1920 census came around I think that Viola was married to my great uncle James McRay as I have found them in New Orleans. 1930 they were in Chicargo and some time in the 1940's they shifted to Miami with their daughter Jean?where they set up fishing trips for the tourists probably the first to do it in that area they had several boats and seem to be doing quite well. Their daughter an art student so I am told died of pnemonia when she was 16 probably buried there although I haven't been able to find a record.The couple retired to Florida City where they are both buried 1971/1989.
I have been researching for 9 years but I am unable to find anyone related to Viola, surely the family didn't just disapear? They must have had relatives or at least friends somewhere.
