I hope you are well. We were in touch a couple of years back about the Day family history (my grandmother was Hester Ellen Day). I've been gradually adding more detail to my line. Just recently I came across a few dates from the Dorset opc for Gillingham which you might be interested in. They seem to tie in with the earliest dates in Semley.

Rachel Ware bap 6th Mar 1747, base daughter of Mary Ware
John Day bap 20th Jul 1746, son of John Day
