Thanks again to Rob - not had much luck with finding any connections to fun fair/showmen - anyone else got any ideas?  I found it much easier finding my Bower family on the canals than this one :(

Thanks Rob - I will do a search on this topic.

I have found a Urana (Louisa/Lovina) Taylor b 1827 Heathfield, Sussex, who marries a George Ralph/Relph in 1846.

I am wondering if there is a link to my Henry Taylor but cannot make a definite connection without knowing the parents of Henry Walter Taylor and Urana Taylor.

In the 1861 census there is a Henry Taylor of the right age living with a son of Urana Taylor and George Ralph

Household Members: Name Age
Mary Taylor 70
Henry Taylor 25
John Ralph 10
 
This family are in Waldron, Sussex.  From this census I can deduce that Mary is Henry's mother and John Ralph's grandmother and therefore this Henry is a brother to Urana BUT is he my Henry?

Sorry I know this is getting a bit confusing :(

I have a brick wall that I would like to crack - so this is a bit of a longshot as I am aware that Taylor is a surname of travelling people.  Any help would be appreciated :)

Henry Walter Taylor b 1837 (app) in Hastings, Sussex, according to census returns.

In 1870 he marries Elizabeth Lewis in Monmouthshire.  The marriage certificate has him aged 30, a bachelor, a labourer and his father as Robert Taylor, labourer, deceased.
1871 census, he is Walter Flay(g)er, a labourer in the ironworks, with wife Elizabeth and (step) daughter Elizabeth in Monmouthshire.
1881 census, he is Walter Taylor and has a daughter LETITIA and a son MESHACK (as well as Walter and Laura & Frederick)- he is a labourer
1891 census he is in Glamorgan and transcribed as Wlater - additional child AGNES
1901 census he is in Glamorgan as Henry W

I would really like to be able to find him with parents or siblings in the early years - any ideas?

Hi Debs

pleased to see that you found a lot of information about your New Quay people.  I actually lived at High Terrace for a while about 15 years ago!

I still live fairly close to New Quay (in llandysul) and currently both my sister and Mother in law live there.  My husbands family have roots in New Qauy and I will ask my mother-in-law if she can remeber the names at all.

The memorial hall is an old community hall and has been used as the local cinema in the past.

I will see if it is possible for my sister to get a photo of the plaque for you.  (My memory is terrible =- so email if you haven't heard anything for a while!)

Thanks Kerry I'll try phoning them.  I also think he was either before registration or they didn't bother - makes life difficult, thats why I was hoping for a baptism somewhere, but not having much luck with that either.

I have seen on the East Sussex site that they have the records for Lewes House of Correction.  I can't find a specific reference for Robert Taylor on A2A though.  Do you think the record office would give information without a specific reference?  All I know is that there was a Robert Taylor there in 1841 as per census.

By the way I think I can discount the Oxford birth as he still seems to be in Oxford in 1901 and I know where mine is then!
