Thank you Alan for your reply!  I have since managed to trace the family back to the late-1600s at Dilhorne in Staffordshire.  However, I have not as yet succeeded in finding details of the marriage of John and Elizabeth.

Thank you Philip!

Is there any way of knowing the exact date he became POW? and RAP or MDS that he went to?

Stirlingshire / Family of Henrietta & James Donald WILSON of Lennoxtown
« on: Saturday 25 April 15 06:22 BST (UK)  »
I would be most grateful if anyone can help me to get in contact with the family of James Donald Wilson and Henrietta Davie Wilson (nee Taylor), who lived in Lennoxtown/Stirling.

I believe that Henrietta was the sister of John Davie 'Jack' Taylor, who served with my grandfather during the war. I am interested to find out if the family have any information or photos relating to Jack's Army service, in connection with research that I am doing on the wartime service of my grandfather and the unit in which they both served.

Any assistance shall be greatly appreciated!

Another likely sister was Henrietta Davie Taylor, who was born in 1921, married James Donald Wilson in 1950 at Newton Mearns, and passed away in 1998 at Lennoxton, Stirling.

Additional information on the family of John Davie 'Jack' Taylor:

His mother, Christina Flora Taylor (nee Russell), passed away in 1964, at Newton Mearns, Renfrewshire.

One of Jack's sisters was Helen Manson Taylor, born in about 1920.  She married Hugh Barrington Murray in 1950, at Newton Mearns.  She passed away in 1999, at Eastwood and Mearns, East Renfrewshire.  I do not know if they had children.

Thank you Monica for the further information on John himself.

I wonder if it might be possible to locate any of his sisters, or their children.

I would be most grateful if anyone can share information regarding the family of John Davie Taylor (1917-44), who served with my grandfather during the war.

John Davie Taylor was born in 1917, in the district of Rutherglen, to John Davie Taylor and Christina Flora Taylor (nee Russell).  He died of wounds in the Netherlands in September 1944.  At that time, his parents were living at 14 Airdale Avenue, Giffnock.

I would be interested in any information regarding his siblings or other family members.

Any assistance shall be greatly appreciated!
