Herefordshire / Re: Taylor of Hereford
« on: Monday 07 July 08 13:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jen
Great to finally hear from someone with an interest in the Taylor line!  I'm a little unsure as to whether the John Taylor with children John and Charles in the 1841 census are actually my family.  I have a copy of Charles Taylor obituary from the local newspaper and it claims that when he died in Wales around Sept 1924 he was 6 months away from his 100th birthday, which would make his birth year as 1825 not 1833 as in the 1841 census.  I know they weren't accurate in giving birth years at that time.  From the familysearch.org site I have a marriage for John Taylor and Charlotte Davies both of Marden but they married in 1827.  I just wish I could get some definite information which would confirm what I've got.  Please let me know if you have any further info which would help me.
Thanks.
Jean

Herefordshire / Taylor of Hereford
« on: Saturday 11 June 05 14:22 BST (UK)  »
I have a Charles Taylor born in Marden, Herefordshire who married Elizabeth and moved to Wales.
Each Census gives him a different birth year so it appears that he was born sometime between 1827 and 1832.
According to the 1861 Census he was single and living with his brother John and his family.  It also states that his father John Taylor was also living there.  It seems he was born around 1801.  Can anyone help me trace Charles before 1861 and John before and after 1861?

Thanks in advance.

Glamorganshire / Re: My Surname interests in Glamorgan~ Welsh Jen

Hi Jen
I'm new to RootsChat and have noticed that you have a lot of information on 'Taylor'.  My father and uncle were builders in Swansea but not from Brynhyfryd but maybe there is a connection somewhere.  My grandfather was Herbert Price Taylor and lived in Cadle Mill, Fforestfach and my great-grandfather was Charles Taylor.  He was originally from Marden, Hereford but moved to Swansea via Llandebie, Carmarthenshire.  Charles was married to Elizabeth in the 1871 Census and she was from Mainstone, Montgomeryshire.  I've checked marriage registers and found a marriage between Charles Taylor and Elizabeth Mills in Leominster in 1858.  Contrary to that I have a Charles Taylor as single in the 1961 Census living with his father John Taylor and his brother John and family.  There seems to be some discrepancy with his age - from the various census reports he was born somewhere between 1827 and 1832.  Any chance that there is a connection?
I'll be visiting Swansea in the summer holidays (I now live in Germany) so hopefully I'll be able to trace some more then.
Here's hoping that you can help me

If Mary was born in Herefordshire she would have been English NOT Welsh.  Breconshire is in Wales and a lot of people, my grandparents included, moved from Herefordshire into Wales (Herefordshire is on the border) to find work.
Sorry, can't help you with any info on their marriage.
Hope this is of some help to you,
Jean

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup for Taylor before 1871
« on: Monday 06 June 05 19:57 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Sue
This looks like it could be him as I also have him listed as an agri. labourer.  It's possible that I've got the marriage dates wrong as his first child wasn't born until 1864.
Thanks once again.

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Lookup for Taylor before 1871
« on: Sunday 05 June 05 21:58 BST (UK)  »
I have a copy of the 1871 Census for Llandebie in Carmarthenshire which states my grandfather, Charles Taylor, as being born in Marden, Herefordshire and his wife Elizabeth (nee Mills) as being born in Mainston, Montgomeryshire.  Charles was born c.1827 and Elizabeth 1837.  I am not able to trace either further back so I would be grateful if anyone can give me any info.  They married in Leominster in 1858 and Elizabeth's parents could have been James and Mary Mills.  I would love to find out who Charles parents were if possible.
