New Zealand Completed Requests / Donald Taylor, Mary Jane Jarvis
« on: Wednesday 24 August 11 23:20 BST (UK) »
Good Morning
I have come to a big dead end researching GG Grandparents. Donald Taylor 1832-1917 and Mary Jane Jarvis 1837-1929. I do know where they are buried in Auckland. Donald was a Racehorse trainer based at Ellerslie, Auckland. I have found 2 small references to him in Papers Past re race results. I think another relation, Thomas Taylor, was a jockey at the time.
I have had little luck finding any other information for him through NZ Racing. Does anyone have any ideas how to approach researching this area.
I have also been unable to find any info on Mary Jane other than birth and death dates and place.
Any ideas would be so gratefully recieved.
Kind regards
Neroli
