HI

There is no way to be 100% sure as the paper is old - it looks like Adelard which is an unusual name...along with a Rendolph Taylor...again hard to trace...

I was told Adelard is a French form of the name Adalhard...

but ?

Hi

I found a Joseph Adelard Taylor and Adelard Taylor and Adelard Edouard Taylor in Quebec Vital and Church Records ( Drouin Collection 1621-1967) in my search.

Both Joseph and Edward ( Edouard) are name that crop up in my family - seem to like to re use names in later offspring..

the April Birthdate may or may not be - the into was taken from some very faded and hard to read old documents...I have been trying to find an Adelard Taylor and the only ones so far I have found come from Quebec- though I have never know my family to have any links there...

This is part of the reply I recieved from the archives in Singapore and their links in my search...I am posting it here to  help anyone else who may also need this info.
