I would like to thank the people who have helped me so far. I think the information about Alice will be correct I will follow it up.
The information on Keith with middle name Maxwell is very interesting and could be correct if he had a middle name I would not have necessarily have been given this information could you please tell me what the ABN is.

I am trying to find any details about my cousin born in Perth 28TH March 1959
His father was Earnest Taylor and his mother Alice Maxfield they were both from England and moved to Australia before Keith was born.
Earnest passed away in 1981 and his grave was at Palmyra, City of Melville, Western Australia I don't know when Alice passed.
I have never been able to find anything about Keith if anybody can find anything it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Bernard

Worcestershire / Re: Colley’s Droitwich workhouse 1871
« on: Tuesday 14 June 22 21:08 BST (UK) »
Thanks for your help. The Eliza Colley I am looking into at Tibberton is the one married to William Colley in 1861. William died in 1867 which lead to Eliza being in the workhouse in 1871 this is where a found Sara A Colley and it is the only census she appears on with Eliza and her family. I am beginning to think she is not related to Elizabeth it gives her berth as 1868 in Droitwich but I can not find a birth in Droitwich around that time. I do tend to think the birth date will be reasonably accurate as she is show at age 3 which being filled out at the work house I can’t see them being a long way out she is then shown at the workhouse ten years later age 13 I have then found a Sarah Ann ten years later as a domestic servant age 23 so all the years seem to tally. I did find the Sarah Ann that married James Fletcher but I am being to think she is not related to Eliza Colley nee Hopper. I don,t think it will be her daughters child she went on to marry a Thomas Dowdeswell in 1869 and had plenty of children of her own.

Worcestershire / Colley’s Droitwich workhouse 1871
« on: Monday 13 June 22 20:43 BST (UK) »
I have been looking into the Colley’s in the Droitwich workhouse in 1871 there is an Eliza Colley who is the mother and her children are Lucy Colley age 8, Sarah Colley age 1, and Alice Colley aged 4 there is also another Sarah A Colley aged 3. What I am trying to work out is if Sarah A is one of her children in 1881 Sarah A Colley is the only one in the workhouse the others have left. I know that at Southwell workhouse which was the first in the country if a member of a family left all the family had to leave I don’t know if this rule applied to all workhouses. Also I can’t find a birth for a Sarah A Colley around the time she would have been born. I can find Eliz Colley in the 1881 Census living in Kidderminster her second name is now Turner her daughter Lucy Colley is with her but Sarah is no longer there I am still trying to find her. If anybody else is researching this family I would welcome you thoughts on Sarah A Colley. Thank you. Bernard

Thanks for that Jim
I don’t have a wedding cert. never thought to look on that I will send for one and check it. He does have his cap on in the photo I did put a picture on the roots chat forum a while back but the photo is small you can’t make out which regiment the cap badge is and if you blow the photo up you just lose any detail, I had a few suggestions but no one could be sure. I have tried local newspapers in the past without any luck. I will check out the missing voters list as you say. Thanks for your help.

No sorry no service number regiment or time frame I have been really struggling with this as you say Harry Taylor is such a common name. He did survive the the war but all I have is the photograph of him in hospital blues.

World War One / WW1 Hospital Records Look Up
« on: Monday 05 August 19 20:25 BST (UK) »
HI was wondering if anybody has access to WW1 Hospital Records.
I have been trying to find out about my Grandfather in WW1 for quite a time now but I always draw a blank.I think his service records must have been destroyed. I have a photo of him in hospital blues but I don,t know where it was taken I thought hospital records might be the way to go but I am not sure how much information they will give as I can't access them without paying and I don't want to pay if they won't get me anywhere.
His Name was Harry Taylor he was born in Radcliffe Lancashire 27th April 1883, he would have been living in Whaley Bridge or Fernilee Derbyshire when he signed up. He did not marry his wife Edna until 1918 so I guess his next of kin would have been his parents George and Alice. Keeping my fingers crossed for help or advice.
Regards Bernard
