Title: John C Taylor 175 Cedar Road Rochester
Post by: flst on Sunday 11 May 25 14:55 BST (UK)
This man appears in the 1939 register. The birthdate shown is one day out from my relative's. I have tried various sites to see if I could find out what his middle name was.  He married Alice Langan in 1930 in Dartford. John died in 1966  Freereg ref:Chatham SF 188.  Are there any newspapers which may show a death announcement or obituary?  I know I may have to bite the bullet and order a certificate but I am hoping someone can help me locate a headstone.

Thank you rosie17, the person I am searching for is John Cartney Taylor, born 5 October 1908 in Aberdeenshire Scotland. He was last heard of in Aberdeenshire circa 1926. This information eliminates him as a possible match.The search continues!

March 1942, The  County Herald
A report of a traffic offence involving a motor cycle — it's quite complicated, but one of the two defendants was John Cartney Taylor of Bala Avenue, Greenfield (he was the owner but not the rider). There is nothing  else in the article that might help to link him to your man.

I had a look at Bala Avenue, Greenfield [Holywell, Flintshire] in 1939 but did not see him – you should confirm that however.

This is the only hit at BNA with a search for the full name.

Liverpool Daily Post 21 March 1981
John Cartney Taylor died suddenly 18 March 1981 near Wrexham
Dearly Loved husband of Ina Taylor

I don't have access to newspaper maybe Alan could have a look

There is a marriage to a John C Taylor 1940 Holywell Flintshire
To Ina Williams might be worth looking at

Well-spotted rosie17. I must learn to include permutations of name order to catch these.

It looks like Ina Taylor died in 2006 so we are on safe ground.

There is a Taylor-Williams birth registration Q3 1945. Can’t name, but it is a male birth with a (single) name that fits.

The John Cartney Taylor might not be the same one going by the year difference
Best thing would be to check the marriage to Ina Williams to see what information is on it ;)

There is no birth for a John Cartney Taylor in England or Wales between 1899- 1910.  Middle name is distinctive & suggests all the various finds above relate to your John Cartney Taylor

Thank you everyone for your help. Yes,Rosie that is my entry in Curiousfox. I've been hunting for John for decades! Carolew, I will be buying a marriage certificate. Do the Welsh marriage certificates give as much detail as the Scottish ones?

Thanks, I have seen this entry and the year, month and day are shown in that order so it is indeed 5th October 1908.
By the way I have sent for the marriage certificate and I'm sure it will confirm he is my missing man!
