Roy William Richard Taylor
« on: Tuesday 05 September 23 07:43 BST (UK) »
Roy William Richard Taylor married Joan Beatrice Courves during the September quarter of 1939 and registered in Gravesend.  Roy William Richard Taylor and Florence Mary Hill Benn (Behm) then Taylor née Ashley married on 19 November 1949 in Kent.  Florence was my maternal grandmother and Roy was her second husband.  He was born around 1908.  I would dearly love to obtain any information related to Roy.  When and where was he born, date married, did he divorce or did his first wife pass away?  Did he have any children from his first marriage?  When did he pass away?  Any information around his work life?  I live in South Africa and obtaining information across the waters is rather difficult.  Many thanks.

Added, using that freebmd site you can search for possible children.
I cannot post as it is possible they are still alive.

1939 register is available on Ancestry & FindMyPast. Perhaps your library has one or other if you do not have a subscription.
He was an auctioneer

Death of Roy 1977
It would only cost £1.50 to get his will if you wished.
