Maybe find his death cert to see who the informant was may help

thanks everyone for working so hard, my father is Roy Vincent Day, his father was Walter Alfred Robert Day, then his father was Walter edward day. The mystery is with Walter Edward, i heard he left his family and was found years later with someone else. i havent found enough proof to comfirm the stories because his name appears to be popular at the time. i also know he was a captain on a ship at sometime. its funny how you get little bits of stories off family members, some are true but you have to fit it all together. i love mysterys in the family, be boring if everyone was perfect.
thanks again.
