Good Morning from New Zealand....
I am stunned with what you all have found so far and will try to remember what was said so I can reply....
Victor:
How did you located the two Edwards birth dates please?
Ok lets see.
After Donald's death we were contacted by lawyers ( my aunt in the UK- dad's sister) we were listed as next of kin- and for some reason his other "children etc" were by passed - and we were notified. This was to inherit his estate etc. but the will was contested and they won and that was it.
I have heard my dad speak of Uncle Don in the US making making movies etc. My grandad died when I was only 3 .
I have some other names listed in an old birthday book...( belonged to Grandma Connie Jane ) -
Iris Taylor Apr 16 ( year unknown ) I think its his sister
Jane Helen Taylor June 13 ( year unknown) ? relationship
Clarence Taylor Sept 11 ( year unknown ) ? relationship - suspect a brother
D V Taylor Jan 5 ( year unknown ) ? relationship
Sylvia Louisa Alene Taylor Jan 7 ( year unknown) ** this name is so beautifully written it makes me wonder who she was....
Joseph Lawerence Taylor June 24 1849
My grandad Edward was long dead when Donald Taylor died - so that may be why he was not listed in the "survived by ".......
also I know that uncle Donald had divorced and remarried and there were step children in contest of the will too....
I will go over the info you all so kindly helped me find and see what else I can think of...
Thank you for finding Uncle Allyne's Info...
yes I know about his death and am in contact with that branch of the family -but geneology is not their thing and they don't have more info for me..
they ( Alleyne and Evelyn and family ) went "back ' to live in the Uk - which makes me think of UK roots as it was always described to me as a child as
" going back to live in the UK..."
my dad's other sister "went back too" with her family .
BUT I am so grateful for the full info on their marriage dates etc...Thank you !!!
again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! it helps - every little bit helps...!!
