William McGregor Gordon and Mary Taylor

[heywood]

I see that William and Mary had a daughter, Agnes.
This all looks right for 1939 and therefore Mary Taylor b 1903.

[Christianmpoulsen]

Birth date 4 Feb 1903 according to 1939 reg.

Your first step is to look at the marriage certificate to obtain more information about her.

Thank you

[Christianmpoulsen]

A tree on Ancestry has her as Mary Agnes Taylor b 1905 - no other info & no supporting evidence

Thank you Carole

[Christianmpoulsen]

Was she Mary Jane Gordon - died 1984 with a birthdate 4th February 1903?

I dont know any of her dates yet, only her name and who she married

How is she connected to you? Presumably you have some idea of dates or family after 1921?

Mary Jane Taylor b March quarter 1903 with mother’s name Rogers might fit with the given birthdate on the other records we have found.

Free BMD has a marriage - John William Taylor and Elizabeth Rogers.

You can search 1911 census on Family Search if you do not have access to other sites.

It’s a tree I’m doing on someone’s behalf and they have no idea about their ancestors. The information I had was purely her name and that she married William MacGregor Gordon - whose family I have already researched. It’s her parents I want to track down.

[Christianmpoulsen]

With a surname like Taylor & seemingly so little other info - buy the marriage cert to establish her fathers name & occupation

Where does she fit into your FH?  Are you descended from one of her children?

Thank you. It’s a tree I’m doing on someone’s behalf and they have no idea about their ancestors. The information I had was purely her name and that she married William MacGregor Gordon - whose family I have already researched. It’s her parents I want to track down.

Thank you, yes, this matches what I’ve researched too. It is her ancestors I’m trying to trace now.

This does not match with other records. Her death is Mary Jane Gordon, I would say.
Have you searched on Family Search?

This is worth further searching with a marriage certificate.
