Oh, Jo 

It's not the right family ...

All the dates I gave & all the other facts have been checked, double checked, triple checked  ... believe me, I've done my homework on this (six months of sleepless nights)

but, you still get your bottle of Bordeaux 

Ann

Mig,

Never too early for a drop of good French wine 

Here are all the gruesome details :

The parents of my maternal grandfather : Samuel Oliver Taylor, born in 1869 in Newton Heath, Manchester, Lancashire and Ann Barber, born in 1865 in Macclesfield, Cheshire.

They were married in 1890 at Newton Heath (I have the Official details); Ann returned to her mother’s (Harriett Barber) for William Edwin’s birth and his was duly recorded in April 1891. 

Samuel, a "Machine Journeyman" and Ann then disappear from the Census records and reappear in 1911 when they are settled at 15 Albert Street, Newton Heath, Manchester with 4 children : Frederick born in 1893, Beatrice born in 1895, Edith Alice born in 1905 and Annie born in 1907. 

When I stumbled on Beatrice, the Mycocks came into the picture.

As I have no idea as to Edith's & Annie's married names, would just be so grateful if you could come up with a birth record.

And, I'd love to know just anything about Samuel & Ann ... those two have been driving me mad for the last six months 

Good luck, but don't get gray (or more gray) hairs in the process

Ann

Jo,

I now know someone who has access to GenesReunited - the son-in-law of one of those two dear old ladies !

He was the one who read my "sad little letter" in a Manchester newspaper 3 or 4 weeks back & started the ball rolling ... will ask him to help out yet again on this one.

Off to try Tribal pages, hope it's free   hihihi

Thanks
Ann

Hello Migky & Carol,

Migky, have sent you a PM as you are "spot on" !

Carol, thanks very much but Migky is on the right track. One of the rare pieces of info I had was that grandfather's sister, Beatrice Taylor, married Arthur Mycock in 1916. My mother had kept a Xmas card signed Aunty Beaty & Uncle Arthur and I never knew who these people were until a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you both
Ann

Ruskie,

Dear old Mum is indeed wearing the lace-up shoes ! so much more stylish 

Thanks Xinia, thought you would just love this street scene ... seemed to be quite the fashion at the time

Bye
Ann
