Cousins Across the Pond

[An65]

Story begins with William TAYLOR b.1820 Holbeach who married Rachel WHILEY b.1823 Gedney Lincs England.

Their son William TAYLOR b.1843 Gedney married Harriet FRANKS b.1844 (m.1869) and they emigrated to Carbondale, Pennsylvania in 1893

Their children included:

Rhoda TAYLOR b.1875 Fleet Lincs, emigrated 1892, married Francis Henry MASTERS and had two children Francis Henry Jr killed in action in 1944., and Maud (spinster).
Maud was last known of living at 40 South Main Street Carbondale where she died in 1990 - as far as I know there are no living descendants of this branch but would love any photos (a long shot I know) of this group as my father has a picture of Maud with her father taken in the 1940s Id be willing to share).

Emma TAYLOR - b.cir1869 Fleet Lincs - no other info

Harriet Emma TAYLOR - b.1872 Fleet Lincs married Edward BRADLEY of Ireland - by 1910 they were at Pike St Carbondale. Their son Thomas BRADLEY b.1908 later lived at Rouses Point New York State. I believe his descendants are still there today, as my grandfather had an address for this surname in Chapman Street.

Mary Ann TAYLOR b.1873 Fleet - no other info
Maud Alice TAYLOR b.1879 Fleet - no other info

Arthur William TAYLOR b.1887 Fleet married Myrtle R CRONKITE from Canada and they lived Rouses Point New York State. Their children included Marion, Arthur Ellsworth, Ruth Alma, and Beatrice E, who married Schubert LAMB.,
Beatrice and Schubert appear to have moved to Lakewood, Los Angeles California where they died.


Finally Hugh TAYLOR b.1892 no other info.



Id be extremely interested to contact anyone who can identify with this family.
