Title: Taylors & Simpsons from Drumgrannon, Moy
Post by: Clannessie on Monday 07 February 05 01:19 GMT (UK)

Looking for any information on William Thomas Taylor (b about 1855) and Marianne Simpson Taylor (b about 1856). I have a baptism record for their 3rd child at St James Church (Church of Ireland) in Moy, Tyrone/Armagh so am assuming first 2 sons were born there and maybe they were married there.
I know William was a farmer and Land Bailiff for Lord Charlemont and Marianne was a Teacher and Music Teacher.
The whole family went to Birkenhead, England late 1800's.
I know William had 6 sisters. I think one might have ran an Inn.

Note: two topics on same family merged

Hiya Clannessie,

I do not have a lot of information for you. I looked up Moy and Charlemont in the 1852 Directory of Belfast and Province of Ulster. Your mention that one of William's sisters ran an Inn made me wonder if any Taylors might be in the Directory. Sure enough there was a George Taylor who was a publican at Charlemont. Moy and Charlemont are two little towns, really one town, divided by the river Blackwater. A search through later directories may disclose the name of the sister who ran the Inn.

All the Best, Christopher

Not sure why I never answered his post....

but William Thomas Taylor's last son was named George.

Wonder if the George Taylor you found is related. I have always assumed William's father's name was Robert....since my Grandfather was the first son and he was named Robert...and he in turn named his first son Robert also...but by that time his last name was now Trainor...long story  :)

Did you ever find out if any female Taylors ran an Inn?

thanks,

There's not a Taylor listed in the 1861 directory

Title: Taylors
Post by: Clannessie on Thursday 01 April 10 00:32 BST (UK)

I am looking for any info on a William Thomas Taylor. I know he was born 21 July, 1855. His father was a Robert Taylor. Both were Land Bailiffs. I know William was bailiff to Lord Charlemont. I know William married Mary Ann Simpson of Aghinlig, Armagh on 8 June, 1880 at Charlemont Church of Ireland. I know her father was John Simpson a farmer.

I am trying to find out where William was born.
His Mother's name
Any info on Robert Taylor or his wife.

My Grandfather was a Robert Samuel Taylor born in 1881.

Thanks

Don't think so- Clannessie's looking for a William Thomas Taylor born 1855 (before civil registration).

Thanks Stevo but probably not in my direct family line.

An Aunt seems to think that William Thomas Taylor had all sisters..no brothers...but that has not been proven as yet.

William and Mary named their children:

Robert Samuel  my Grandfather
William John (probably after Mary's father - John)
Mary
Ettie
Elizabeth
George Edward ( a twin brother of George died at childbirth about 1895)

makes me wonder where the name of George Edward came from? I have wondered where my Grandfather's middle name of Samuel came from.

Grrr  so many questions and NO answers  :)

I just did a search on Familysearcg and found these children of Robert and Jemima Jane Hall Taylor:

William George Taylor   17 March, 1866  Tyrone
Richard Robinson Taylor  14 April, 1868  Tyrone
Thomas Charles Taylor   14 March, 1870  Antrim
Jemima Taylor  13 May, 1873  Antrim
Martha Jane Taylor  27 May, 1871  Antrim

Still not sure how they fit into my family..maybe they don't but maybe someone else can use the information!

Hi Karen, I have a William Taylor in my family tree, rate collector in Charlemont from Armagh,  born 1850-1857 with Father Robert Taylor known to friends and family as George perhaps a middle name, married Elizabeth Anne (Williams mother). I would be interested in sharing info to see if our families match up. Warm regards, Tara
