Yes I know of this family but cannot connect   My Taylors are descended from John Taylor, tenant of Welltree farm, Madderty who died abt 1802. He had at least 3 sons namely Mungo, James and Peter. Mungo and James moved to Ross Farm, Findo Gask. James married a Bathia Maxton and had Mary, John , Robert, Jane , Jean and Mungo from 1804 to 1816. I think that these Taylors were Methven connected originally. I have  the Gask Papers from NLS which mentions rents etc in Findo with a William and Robert menioned .  Cheers

Any chance you could send me the details of the rent papers concerning William & Robert??

Cheers

Hi Findo,

New to this, so if my nettiquette's poor please excuse me. My paternal grandmother was a Taylor. Her father's people were from Madderty.

My big problem in tracing my Taylor lineage has been that my late father had a fall-out with his siblings - eight if I remember - so the family history's all to pot.

What follows are a few of my Taylor threads. As the area around Madderty is so wee I'm hoping there'll be someone who recognises these. Incidentally, I have an aunt on my faither's side in Gleneagles. She grew up in Glasgow.

Anyway ... one of the records I have is of the birth of my great-grandfather, David Taylor.

He was born in Ayrshire, but his birth record from January 14, 1870 names him as David Stewart Taylor, son of David Taylor, a land steward, and Elizabeth Taylor (don't laugh), maiden surname Stewart. They married at Madderty (parish church I assume) on May 22, 1852.

The record of David's death in 1950 reveals that his father was a 'salmon fisher' and his mother was a linen weaver'.

Other than that, I am bereft of Perthshire records. The family gravitated to Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.

David married twice. The first was in 1896 in Glasgow. By that time he was working at Kirklands of Bothwell lunatic asylum as an attendant. He married a Mary Brearley in Glasgow. Interestingly, the couple lived in the town of East Kilbride about 1900. I grew up in that town.

The wedding cert describes the groom's father as a 'drainage contractor'. Jack of all trades.

If this hits any of your buttons, or those of anyone else, please drop me a line.

Red and yellow forever!
