Looking for some information on a Jack Taylor who was married to a Mollie McGrath in Maidstone I believe. Mollie remarried a Richard Roffey in Islington. And she died in 1966 in Hackney. Id liked to find some dates for Jack and who was his parents. And any other information if possible.
Thanks 👍

The marriage could be in Tipperary Ireland where Mollie came from

Yes married in 1939 Richard or Elijah

Any children born in England?

Do you know who Mollie’s parents were?
-
Have you checked the Irish 1911 & English 1911/1921 census?
-
Mollies parents were James McGrath and Catherine Duggan.
-
They are on the 1921 census living in Maidstone. Eldest child was 6 b Kent. Husband John - not Jack

Could this be his death

FreeBMD show Taylor/McGrath children born in Maidstone
Free to search 1921 can’t post full details you need a subscription to view, if this is them a marriage before 1915
John 1886 Maidstone, Kent
Molly 1890 Tipperary
J 1915 Maidstone - edit as not established death
M 1919 Maidstone. ditto
1911 there is this John Taylor
John Taylor 1887 Maidstone, Kent parents Alexander and Alice Rose, has 5 siblings
you would need his m/c to confirm fathers name

1915 birth shows birthplace as Kent & is male
There is no matching Taylor/McGrath birth on freebmd 1914-1916 for him
I am wondering whether they did actually marry or if Molly was previously married

Mollies parents were James McGrath and Catherine Duggan.
Do you have her birth certificate with the exact date of birth?
Did Jack & Mollie have 3 children and do you have any of their birth certificates to confirm their father's occupation?

Mollie in Irish is Máire. The meaning of Máire is Diminutive for Mary.
Jack is a given name of English origin, originally a diminutive of John.
Alternatively it may commonly be a diminutive of Jacob
