Desparately Seeking Edward George Taylor

[Whiskerssue]

By the way what kind of skeltons so people find in families besides the usual kid out of wedlock thing??

A few of mine: bigamy, fraud, embezzlement, secret second families, changes of name so as to go on the run from the authorities...

I guess that is what makes it all so interesting - the fact that they were not as good and innocent as the posed pictures make them out to be!!!

I thought this search was long cold and dead but thankfully some documents have been found . The info is being relayed to be so I am not sure where the source is as yet..( ie b.c or diary etc )

BUt I have names of Edward George Taylor's parents . They are

Joseph Lawerence Taylor (b 24 June 1849) and m to Jane DeSilver ( ? )

also these names..
Charles Arter Taylor  (b 14-9-1877)

Dessis William Taylor (b 1-1-1909)

I will continue to see what I can find...any idea or help VERY VERY appreciated

My grandad gave my aunt a whole bag of stuff. In 1964 - its still in the same bag and she is going through them now...

another name to add...

Simon Micheal Taylor b 14-4-1874 ( singapore ? )

Great that you have at last found the parents names of Edward 

mmm.. can't place a marriage for Joseph Lawrence Taylor or birth entry on FreeBMD

This is the only couple I have found so far with names JLT & Jane, she is widowed later and due to their age probably not the parents of Edward

1901 RG13; Piece: 3698; Folio: 11; Page: 14
Joseph L Taylor 55 Oldham
Jane 55 Stalybridge Lancs
Lucy M 30
Jessie 19 Kings Heath Birmingham

Thought I'd found a Jane De Silva have given details to rule this one out

Jane De Silva Ch 30 Jan 1831 St Peters, Liverpool, Lancashire
birth Place Moor Street parents Emanuel De Silva occ Mariner & Ann
died age 7 weeks Burial 27 Feb 1831 Low Hill Cemetry Everton

Charles Arter Taylor  (b 14-9-1877)

Dessis William Taylor (b 1-1-1909)

Can't see anything on FreeBMD for Dessis but wondering if Charles is Charles Arthur

Charles Arthur Taylor Birth: Oct 1877  - Bosmere, Suffolk

1881 The Street Coddenham Reg. District Bosmere
John Taylor Head Wid  51 Coddenham Ag. Lab.
Eliza dau 20, John son 18, Henry son 12, Alfred son 10
Charles Taylor grandson 3 Coddenham Suffolk

1871 John,  Eliza 32 Frederick 12 plus all the children named above
1861 John 60, Eliza 22, Fred 2,  Eliza 6 months

John Taylor ch 7 Jun 1829 Coddenham parents John & Mary Ann

Not sure who is the father of Charles, could be son Frederick as he's not with them on 1881 or perhaps he's the son of daughter Eliza

These names are so hard to link together in any English records that I can't help wondering whether the family had been elsewhere for a long time (whether in Singapore/Malaya for generations or elsewhere).

India springs to mind as there are lots of Da Silvas there.

Also could Dessis be Dennis? If so that suggests to me a possible Irish connection as that name did not become fashionable in England until a bit later. I think the family was Catholic, at least going by Connie's funeral announcement?

Names and dates are fantastic; any clues at all to location could be very valuable too!

Good morning

I am wondering if Joseph Lawrence Taylor b 1849 and Jane De Sliver were Edward George Taylor's b 1902 grandparents if they were his parents then Donald Taylor could not have been his brother?

Hi Marg and everyone...

sorry for the late reply - am working all this weekend...This is what my partner says too...he feels there is a generation missing..and that the above were grandad's grandparents....Hmmm?


I dont know if its the same...but the Jane DeSilver - there is a jane in the birthday book as ...Jane Helen Taylor b 13 June  yr ?

Yes the family is Catholic - always has been....I have heard mutterings of Irish and Scots /welsh roots...??

The info on Dessis.....is very interesting...I did not know that...! Thank you..

The link of JLT and Jane looks very promising as Grandad was born a year  after the date or marriage..later...

My aunt says info she has given...Jane was born in Singapore...


thank you for the help.

I will add more when I can _ I did find stuff for a Simon Micheal Taylor 14-4-1874 -

a old newspaper article of 11 Feb 1916  - in Singapore...

will update more....

oh...

Also an article of Joseph Taylor
Singapore Royal Artillery awarded a medal in 1923 24 Feb...

Thank you everyone for the help...

I tried to get help or advice from the local geneologist society here in New Zealand. on how to do my research...

...well a more unfriendly cold response you could not imagine. She ( contact lady from the society )  would not listen to me past the word "Singapore " cut me short with..." I cant help you and don't know anyone who can...Goodbye "

...I did not even get the chance to tell her what I even wanted....

sigh ....seems asian prejudice is alive and well here...

if  geneology teaches us anything.. isnt it that we all have roots and no one is better than another....

evidently not here in New Zealand.....so sad.....
