Looking for Edith Elizabeth Taylor nee Craven shipping record to Australia

[Neale1961]

I am speculating that Alice Taylor (the servant and mother to the youngest "Craven" children)
might have been the younger sister to Maria Taylor who married Craven in 1873.

[Neale1961]

Maria Craven (nee Taylor) died age 37 in 1888 in Lesmahagow
REF 649 / 12

Then, maybe younger sister ALice came to look after all the children. ?? Just speculation.


ADDED - The Scottish birth certificates for her children should give you some useful information

[Neale1961]

Alfred Godding Craven died age 69 in 1919 in Hillhead
ref 644 / 12 / 459

Ill buy the certificates. No marriage in Scotland for Edith.

Can anyone find her death in Victoria?

[Neale1961]

I don’t think there was ever a marriage.
The name of Dorothy’s father was probably an invention. He was quite probably a soldier, but i doubt his surname was Taylor.

Marias mothers surname is unknown. Her husband was the informant.

Neale1961 thats my active theory. Just trying to work out if she followed the man to England and gave birth as theres another male named in the military records around the same time.

Alice Taylor in Maria Taylors family married Elijah Green in 1890. She had 5 children with him in England.
