HI Every one
Happy New Year to you all!!.
I think we have another Taylor/SMith connection.
I have had a lady contact me who's gt grandfather is my great grandfathers brother.
MY GR Grandfather is George HUNT and hers is ALBERT HUNT.
Albert Hunt b c 1871 in Clay Hill Bushey Herts "married" an Isabella TAYLOR but so far unable to trace a birth for her and she was born in Acton.
Their  daughter names were Edith b c 1896/97 Acton  an Elizabeth b c 1900 Acton and they all appear on the 1901 census in Hales St Deptford.
The last known daughter was born in 1913 in Deptford called Selina.
Apparently their were two half sisters, an Atherlia  born to Isabella before Albert and a Lottie (could be short for Charlotte??) to Albert mother so far unknown.
Because of the reacurrence of these names bells started ringing through my head and I re read al the posts here and I think I have cracked it.
On Atherlias death cert her daughter Selina (Became Hearn) reported her death and on the 1891 census Christopher and Selina had a "sister in law" Isobel Smith living with them. so that had to be Selinas sister.
Are you seeing where I am coming from?
So with some birth certs to back us up I am totally convimced that the Isabella "Taylor" that went with Albert Hunt is the Isobel Smith.
Comments please or any one know any different.
The lady in question is a Tess daughter of Selina Hunt .

Hi Everyone,

I've been following this thread with some interest but am very new at these families who keep changing their names and travelling around! Most of my lot are much more staid.

I was looking into Athalia (various spellings) Taylor who married Samuel Smith aka John Taylor. She had a daughter Selina (later Hearne) who registered her death. Do you think this could be her baptism? -
     CINDERELLE TAYLOR     Female         
     Christening:     21 JUN 1868      West Molesey, Surrey, England
     Mother:     ATTALIAL TAYLOR

Hello nightnurse51.

We have received a letter regarding this family, this is what it said.

Regards

Sarah

"Jabez and Emily Taylor first born daughter Alhalia was born in 1903 (I am) Alhalia's daughter-in-law. Many members of your family are all around here Alhalia's children & grandchildren & G Grandchildren. I was married to her Eldest son Ernest for over over 50 years who sadly died in 2003 and we had 7 children.  I have information about Grandad he was not serving with the boar war BUT was in the Zulu war!  I have a photo of the grave before I think and an Aunt showed it to me years ago.  I would be delighted to hear from someone I live in the village where Alhalia and her husband and children were evacuees during WW2.

Yours M B"
