Hi
Clarence Alfred Taylor was born in 1889 in Newcastle, NSW and later married Ruby Hyde. I'm interested in his father - I believe he was English so any bit of information would be very helpful to pinpoint him here in the UK records.
Thank you.

George William Taylor
1856–1928
Birth About 1856 • Suffolk, England
Death 7 November 1928 • Stockton, New South Wales, Australia
Mother Bertha Heap
On the newspaper report of Clarence's marriage his father is named as Mr W Taylor so possibly known by his second given name William.
The tree doesn't have any information for Bertha Heap other than she married George William Taylor 1881 Newcastle NSW no source given.
The newspaper report says Bertha Hyde is the third daughter of Mr and Mrs W Hyde.
Also Clarence is reported as being late of the AIF

If this is the correct Clarence Alfred TAYLOR, his death registration in 1977 has parents' names as George William and Bertha (106718/1977).
