Title: Super sleuth needed to find my missing Charles Taylor from Gedney
Post by: naranjas pocita on Wednesday 22 October 08 20:24 BST (UK)
Charles Taylor was born in Gedney Marsh, Lincolnshire in 1874 to Francis (Frank) and Fanny Taylor.

He was the eldest child and had 5 sisters.

Mary Ann
Emma
Ada
Maud
Kate

Our family researchers have accounted for all the children but Charles remains a mystery.  He appears on the 1881 census with his family, but is not seen again, but doesn't appear in the BMD index either, so we assume he didn't die.  We have heard stories that he emmigrated to who knows where, but that's as far as it goes.

Is anyone out there connected to him or can find out where he went.

Fingers crossed  :o

Hi Geoff

I am so confused with Charles, popping in and out like that.  If you see him lurking you are welcome to give me a shout !  LOL

Thanks for your time

I'm a bit confused as you said he was with his family in 1881 but never seen again ... I suppose you must have meant "with family in 1881 and 1891".

Hi Geoff

You're a little star you!

I meant 1901 census he has done a disappearing act. I thought he may have gone abroad, as one of his sisters emmigrated to Canada, but I've looked at the passenger lists and I can't see him at the moment.  There doesn't seem to be anyone from Lincolnshire. 

I suppose he could have moved in between the census and have been living somewhere else, but no one seems to know.

He could have joined the forces and be at sea or overseas

Hi Beady

He might have joined the Forces, I never thought of that, seeing as he came from a large farming family, but maybe it wasn't the life for him.
