New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Trying to identify this chap
« on: Thursday 03 July 25 04:58 BST (UK)  »
In reference to the 3rd photo added by Lucy2

I haven't done much research on this family, however from my Taylor family notes;
'J Taylor' is James Taylor who died in 1932 age 47 years.
In his obituary published in the Evening Post on 20 August 1932, it states that he assisted his brother-in-law “Dorrie” Leslie with massage work as part of the All Blacks training prior to the third test against the Springboks [at Athletic Park on 17 September 1921.  The score was 0-0.  Athletic Park resembled a lake due to heavy rain].

James officially accompanied the All Blacks to Australia in 1929.
