I would never have found him if you had not given me the information that his first name was David.
On the 1881C he is in Longwood, Yorkshire, with his father, also David B, a hearthrug manufacturer, his mother Elllen and siblings. He is the only one born in Oldham. The family obviously moved about a bit
On the 1891 C he is living with his mother, a widow, & some siblings.
His work is as a Solicitor's Managing Clerk, which we EXACTLY what my Dad worked up to from Office Bay!
On the 1901 C, he is a priest of the Church of England at St Catherine's School.
Many many thanks, Andrea. He was a most remarkable man.

I am the grandson of Barnie Taylor. His wife, My Grandmother, died in 1982 after a long illness and his only daughter, (my mother) died in 2004. Before she died, my grandmother often told me stories of the man and his many good deeds.
He died in approx 1950 and his wife was an active member of the congregtion at St Hilda's West Jesmond until her death.
