Title: Taff of Walthamstow
Post by: Alex_Wood on Tuesday 04 November 08 10:20 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the baptism and marriage details of a Frederick Taff. He married Hannah Thomas at Woodford in 1817 according to Boyds Marriages. Hannah died in 1839 aged 40 and Frederick about 1827. The Taff descendants seem to be living in Marsh Street and Chapel End in Walthamstow in 1841 & 51 censuses. I am trying to find the Frederick who died ca1827. Thomas and Hannah had children: John (1819), Frederic (1820), Francis (1823), Robert (1824) & Thomas (1827). Any Taff information appreciated.

Hello Alex

The Old Bailey records have a few Taff's (jurors, witness, policeman, offender) and St Sepulcre (opposite the Old Bailey) is a source of christianings into the 1600's

Hi Alex

The British Isles Vital Records Index has the baptism records for Frederic, Francis, Robert and Thomas. But in all four cases the father is recorded as Frederic Taff.   ???

Thanks Dave

I must have made a mistake - It was Frederic(k) and not Thomas who married Hannah Thomas. There is a John born ca1819 who is not on the vital records index or the IGI
