Phil Taylor - Ice Skater

[Meredith48]

Willsy, thanks also for the marriage details for Philip and Lois.  I expected her to be younger than him, but she's half his age!  And they went on to have two children? 
Cheers, Meredith

Hi Jen,  I've just received another message from Carol Taylor (Red Deer), re our common relative Philip Taylor.  As you are his direct descendant, we are very keen to make contact with you and find out more about him and his family. 
Hope you don't feel we're pressuring you, so perhaps you could respond on my email and reassure me that we're OK: ^(*)
We were in Canada in May/June last year, but didn't have the opportunity to visit Manitoba, or do any further research into the Taylor line of our family.

Regards from very hot South Australia,
Meredith

Hi, my great grandfather, Sidney Charlton, used to skate with Phil Taylor. I have photos of them together. Sid also joined the Canadian Army. They seemed to have had a double act on ice, which they performed away from competitions, in theatres across England. Sid had a colourful career, including skating on stilts and barrel jumping, instructing in Switzerland, and at Streatham Ice Rink where he was floor manager when it opened in the 30s.

Hi Pamela,  I have done a lot of research on Phil Taylor, but would love to know more about his father's marriage to Nellie nee Payne.  Phil's father is closely related to us, so we're interested in all his descendants.  As you've only made one post so far, I can't private message you.  After we've chatted a couple of times on this forum, I can give you my email address and can then share research with you.  So a few dates and names for Nellie would be good, and anything you know about their marriage.  Look forward to hearing from you again, Regards, Meredith
