Shropshire / Re: Taylor and Tayleur
« on: Monday 05 July 10 09:53 BST (UK) »
Hi
I'm a Tayleur and may be able to help - don't think there was any link with Taylors, but willing to be proved wrong. Those victorian aunts did family trees going back a long way, and with as many (spurious, probably) royal connections as possible but Galfred le Taylur in Rodington seems to be the earliest probable Tayleur descendant.
The Liverpool ones were started by Charles, who went into partnership with Stephenson and founded the Vulcan Foundry, ultimately English Electric then GEC. Other Tayleurs ventured down to Devon in the early 1800's. The Shropshire Tayleurs sold Buntingsdale in about 1921; my grandfather, Henry, was executor - there were deaths in the Great War which my father told me attracted double death duties. Buntingsdale and Tern Hall were RAF for many years and from the 20s to the 70s.
Anybody who is a Tayleur is related, I assume.
