[toni*]

Can anyone help me?

I am looking for details of Frederick George Taylor.
place of birth unknown
aged 25 on 12 Sept 1928 so born Oct 1902 - Sept 1903 (there are 8 in the BMD index)
his address on 12 Sept 1928 was Wayside House Piddinghoe
Father David William Taylor - known as William and mother Emily Louisa Taylor.
Fred was a RAF Scout in 1928 and served in WW2 (although i am not sure if he served with the RAF)
He didnt die in service but did die prior to 1977 and probably prior to 1972
His parents lived at 73 Highdown Road, Lewes East Sussex in the 1930/40's

Emily Louisa had a sister Mary Ann who married a Harry Jordan, I have a copy of the deeds for 6 St Nicholas Lane, Lewes where Harry Jordan and Mary Ann lived. Harry had a sister who married a Mr Pollard making her Mrs Pollard i do not know her first name.

Fred had a brother called Ron who had a son called Brian - they lived in Seaford East Sussex in the 1950's

Fred had twin sisters one of whom was called Ella / Eleanor she married a Mr White and they lived at 35 Newton Road, Lewes at one point.

Hi
Always difficult with people in the 1900s - especially if some of those you mention might be still alive.
I think if it was me I would write to the local register office for the births you found (not Southport) and ask each one if the child registered has parents David and Emily.  They will not charge for this.
Once you know where he was born and get the certificate you will have Emily's maiden name and you have a chance of finding his parents in the 1901 census.
I assume you have been search the full BMD index (free on www.ancestry.co.uk) and not just FreeBMD?
Electoral rolls might help too.   Lewes Record office will have those.

Hi,

A couple of possible marriages,

Emily Louisa TESTER and Mary Ann TESTER were also definitely sisters, parents George TESTER and Sarah ?. Married Dec 1860, he is in FreeBMD but not her.

George TESTER and Sarah ?. Married Dec 1860, he is in FreeBMD but not her.

FreeBMD claims over 99% coverage for marriages in December 1860.

George's entry has been mistranscribed as Cuckfield when the image clearly reads Uckfield.  But that shouldn't matter too much since they've got his volume and page number right.

Of all the marriages registered at Uckfield in December 1860 there are only two entries for women named Sarah, viz.
Holman   Sarah      Uckfield   2b   161
Thorpe   Sarah Ann   Uckfield   2b   139

Both have correctly transcribed volume and page numbers which don't match those of George (2b 137).  However, it's possible (since they are similar numbers) that page 137 should be 139 or vice versa, due to one perhaps being incorrectly entered at the time the index was made (not the fault of FreeBMD).  So if I had to make a guess just from the index, I'd say Sarah Ann Thorpe was the spouse of George.  But I'd not be very confident about this guess.

Against this it should be noted that neither woman is on a page that's missing a male partner.

Of course, for certainty all that's necessary is to obtain the certificate.

Deeds of 6 St Nicholas Lane, Lewes
   [from Scope and Content] Mrs Pollard had left 6 St Nicholas Lane to the occupier, her brother Harry Jordan, and her executrix executed an assent on 29 September 1939. He died on 31 August 1941 and his will of 30 March 1938, leaving his estate to his wife Mary Ann Jordan, was proved on 8 October 1941 by his executrix Catherine Florence Parrish, who assented to the bequest to Mrs Jordan, the occupier, on 20 November 1941.
