Alexander Taylor of Glass & Huntly
« on: Sunday 12 August 18 14:56 BST (UK) »
Searching for any information on Alexander Taylor, born 18 July 1886 in Glass, Aberdeenshire; mother, Jane Whyte, father, John Taylor, a sheep dealer. He was with his maternal grandmother in Glass on the 1891 census and was an apprentice grocer in Huntly 10 years later. After that, I can find nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, CS

Have you looked on Scotlands People for a marriage/death post 1901?

Have you already ruled out the 7 entries for Aberdeen on the 1911 census aged between 24-27

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

The 1911 English index shows an entry born Aberdeen 1884 in the Royal Navy

Outward passenger lists have 5 entries in his age range leaving Glasgow between 1901-1911.  Use Alex* when searching

Thanks for your suggestions, Carole. I've spent some time searching the scotlandspeople archives in Edinburgh for marriages and deaths but no luck there. There again, he could have married & lived in England but there's no sign of him on the 1939 register. I doubt whether he would have joined the navy but he may well have moved abroad. It's unfortunate he has such a common name but I'll keep on searching. Thanks again, CS

Thanks for your good suggestion, snowolf. Unfortunately it was not the Alexander Taylor I'm looking for; wrong parents and 16 years younger. Worth a try though.
