Rev KennethElder Taylor

[suemccall]

I am searching to see if Rev Kenneth Elder Taylor and his wife Elspeth Lucy Shortt had any children.  I have been unable to find any records of their deaths either.  He was born 24/61894 and she was born 21/8/1900.   The information I have found is that he was a Reverend in St John's Church, St Thomas, Ontario. Any help would be very pleased to receive.

Looks as if Kenneth was a Rhodes scholar as well...don't know if there is any way of finding out more about him that way?

Also there is a reference to a photograph of this man in the 19th April 1944 ( page 2 column 8 ) issue of the St Thomas Times - Journal, St Thomas Ontario Canada.  Maybe a request here for this specific article might be worth it.

They returned to Canada on the Antonia which arrived in Quebec on 16 Sep 1933. The passenger list indicates that both children were born in Montreal. The address they have for their return was St. Marks Rectory in London, Ontario. It also indicates wife Elspeth was born on Staten Island, USA and had been in Canada from 1927 to 1933.
