Hi everyone, I’m new to this. I have done my ancestry DNA and started my very extensive tree.
Trying to located any relatives and new information.

I’m the granddaughter of Thomas Edwin Taylor 1906 and Frances Sarah Taylor/lawson
My great grandfather is Thomas Edwin Taylor 1880 and great grandmother Annie Taylor/allen

I’m interested in information on Harold Edwin Taylor who was enlisted in WW1 - I know he enlisted early and his mother was quiet angry and marched down there to get him back, only to have him re enlist a year later.   He was discharged in 1918 due to mustard gas poisoning and got a job digging graves, but later died young of his condition from the mustard gas.

I look forward to hearing from everyone and sharing what information I can.

Kind regards
Cath

Hi Cath

England is a big place 😀. Which county were each born in?

Freebmd shows a birth in 1906 for Frances in Lincoln but there were 2 Thomas Edwin Lawson births in 1906 - one in Loughborough Leicestershire & the other in Prestwich

The Taylor/Lawson marriage was 1926 in Nottingham

What relation was Harold Edwin to Thomas Edwin & when & where was he born?  Who were his parents etc etc

Several births for a Harold Edwin Taylor- one also in Loughborough in 1899.  Same mmn as Thomas Edwin - mmn Allen

1911 shows both Thomas & Harold with parents Thomas Edwin & Annie & siblings
Nelly Gladys/Doris/Lily

Father Thomas b Sheffield mother Annie b Notts - married 1898 Notts

Thomas Edwin Bradbury Taylor my great grandfather was born on 5 February 1880 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, his mother, Hannah, was 25. He died on 7 May 1946 in Nottinghamshire at the age of 66.

Annie Elizabeth Allen was born on 6 November 1879 in Hyson Green, Nottinghamshire, her mother, Sarah, was 21. She died in Nottinghamshire, they had 6 children.
