Looking for Edith Elizabeth Taylor nee Craven shipping record to Australia
« on: Thursday 09 November 23 20:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Edith Taylor emigrated to Australia after the birth of her daughter Dorothy Alice Taylor. Dorothy was born 16 Dec 1912 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. Edith 'husband' was John Henry Taylor - a soldier but I have found no marriage or other children. I have my doubts there was a marriage.

I have Dorothys birth certificate, two marriages and death.

Edith and Dorothy travelled to Australia between early 1913 and 1924. Edith is in the electoral roles in 1924 working as a dressmaker in Malvern, Victoria. The last record I can find for Edith is the 1837 electoral role in Malvern. There is an Edith in South Yarra in 1949 listed undertaking home duties but I cant confirm its the same person.

Im hoping someone can find the shipping record for them which will give me Ediths age. Im also looking for her death record.

Thank you in advance

Using GRO births I am not seeing a birth for Dorothy Alice TAYLOR 1912/13

Is this Dorothy, born late December, birth registered early next year, 1913?

TAYLOR, Dorothy          mms.   CRAVEN 
1913  MarQ                  Birmingham  Vol 06D  Page 582

Can you please give all the information on the birth certificate?.
