hi tony,got your message but i am replying here so every one knows.thing is my taylorsd were based bristol/gloucester aqnd mainley devon.i can go back to 1997 with them.the 1st instance of them was mark taylor married charlotte lewis,they had kids,emma,harriet,henry,jane john and mark.i notice you have davis in the messages aswell also part of my family.although most of them stayed in the west country they did have a boxing booth that did the fairs started by john who was a nasty piece of work and they obviously travelled with their booth to the fairs.it carried on through 4 generations so no doubt they hit london/suussex at times and proabably married girls along the way.all the taylor men were particularly nasty bare knuckle fighters and wife beaters.they all had large families.i will keep an eye out for wHAT COMES UP ON THIS HUNT AND If I CAN HELP I WILL.i dont think there is a connection at the moment but if anyone can tell me different i will do what i can.my taylors liked the penfold and sander/saunders girls quite a bit so if any of those names come up let me know.i have quite a few certs,wills etc.,so will look up anything relevant.sorry not to be of more help.cathayb

Hi All

Thanks for helping and all the info I have been getting

I now have his Pension Records for WW1, I now know he was in the Boer War,
winning the Kings medal, and serving for more than 18 months
I must look at his records myself and see if I can get any more Boer War info to help, next of Kin etc.
The family do not know anything else to help other than his father is buired in Epsom, in a Manor House grounds?
I asked about brothers or sisters and only came up with the names Chunkey
and Pepermint Joe, don't think is will be of any help Undecided

A big thanks again,
John

That kind of thing sounds familiar - I got the same sort of answer from older relatives when first starting out in my family history.  All the male relatives that could be recalled were known by some kind of nickname whilst the girls and women were known by their usual names.  I did, eventually, get to locate the "true" names for most of them Roll Eyes

Perhaps "Peppermint Joe" is a Joseph but "Chunky" - who knows Huh Grin

I have the Taylor tree that contains Jerimiah & Augusta.
There are quite a few Taylor researchers so I wonder if you are a member of the Romany & Traveller FHS, which is where a lot of the Taylor researchers are.  They had a Romany reunion a few years ago.  They are also the ones involved with the Hartlake disaster, which is well documented.  Jerimiahs parents were Jerimiah & Sarah.  Get back to me if you need more info and are still researching Taylors.
Thanx
