Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: 1901 Census Hessie Taylor
« on: Thursday 06 October 11 14:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Are you able to tell me more about the relation of Jane Taylor please?

My e-mail is:  (*)

I live in England. My mother, Elizabeth Taylor, married an Englishman and settled the rest of her life in  England.

My mum's father's sister was Jane Taylor but the date of birth would not match with your Jane Taylor.

I just feel there must be some connection with being born at the same house as mum.  It's just getting the right pieces to fit.

Because I live in England it is not so easy to find information out without going to the records office in Belfast. Where do you live please?

Look forward to hearing more about your Jane Taylor's family.

Regards
Maeabbie

Hi

Do you know if Jane Taylor was her married name please?  If Jane Taylor was her married name she may have been married to Watson Taylor. Jane Taylor's maiden name was Greer. Does this ring any bells.

Looking forward to hearing from you. My mum died last year in June.

Sorry AVM

I just can't find the 1901 census which you quoted. Would it be kind enough to give me further information.  Thank you. >:(

Buckinghamshire / Francis William LEVER
« on: Saturday 09 April 11 09:58 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find Francis William Lever in the 1901 census without much success.

I have a birth record of Dec Quarter 1896 Wycombe, Buckinghamshire 3a/744
I have a marriage record to Mary Ethel INGRAM Dec 1942 North Buckinghamshire 3a/3515
I have a death record of Feb 1985, aged 88, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire 19/1576 (This gives his birth as 12 Sept 1896)


Can anyone please help me find his parents? Would be most grateful.

Thank you to everyone on Rootschat who helped me to find my family in Northern Ireland. Through Rootschat I have been contacted by a 2nd cousin in Sydney, Australia who was able to fill in lots of my Kennedy family details.

Elizabeth Pykett (nee Taylor) died 16th June 2010 before I was able to tell her about her family.

Thank you so much for all your help.

Thank you all so much.

You have found two marriages which seem relevant to my Kennedy family. :) :)

They must be father and son marriages.

Watson Kennedy and Isabella have a son Watson Kennedy, Aged 6, living at 13 Old Glenarm Road, Larne, Co. Antrim in the 1901 census provided to me by another very helpful Rootschatter.

I wonder what became of the son Watson and his wife Jane. My grandparents Hessie Kennedy and Charles Taylor were married at St. Anne's, Belfast so I think the young Watson must have been my grandmother's brother.

I have just looked through my notes and found a record I downloaded ages ago. It is a death record for Watson Kennedy - date of death - 1/12/1961. He was 68, married, a labourer, living at 5 Matlock Street.  He is buried in Glenalina Cemetery and the grave owner is down as JEAN KENNEDY.  I had no idea who Jean Kennedy was but with you finding a marriage for a Watson Kennedy to a Jean Greer this grave may be that of my grandmother Hessie's brother.

The trouble with family researching, it goes on and on with lots of surprises. Thanks

Maeabbie

Thanks also for giving me Watson Kennedy senior's father's name of William.

Thank you all so much for not giving up. I had managed to find the family living in 2 separate houses in the 1911 census (Nos 4 and 6 Disraeli Street, Belfast) Thanks so much for finding my mum's family in the 1901 census. Is the 1901 census available now on line?

My mum Elizabeth Taylor was born at 6 Disraeli Street, Belfast, daughter of Charles Taylor and Hessie Kennedy. Unfortunately, my mum has just died in June 2010 and so I shall not be able to tell her of my findings. This is what happens!

I questioned my mum lots about her family.  I did know there were connections in Larne but hadn't really pieced much info together.

I do however know that my mum's grandfather was Watson Kennedy and I do have one photo of him so I am making a start on my Irish connections. My cousin has also fetched me a marriage certificate from St. Anne's Belfast for my grandparents Charles Taylor and Hessie Kennedy - 10th June 1912.  My grandfather, Charles Taylor, was 24 and his father's name was William Taylor, a carpenter but I have no idea where to find out any more about him. Perhaps one day.

Were the records before 1901 the records which were destroyed?

Thank you all so very much for your help.  :)You are truly wonderful people who are willing to help us. I cannot thank you enough. :) :) I have recommended RootsChat to other people and they have been amazed at the help they have received.

PS My granddaughter and my cousin's daughter are both 12 and their history project is to produce a family tree - guess who's got the job of helping them! ???

Thanks to all of you.

Maeabbie :)
