World War Two / Re: John Tayleur (RAF Pilot)
« on: Friday 19 November 10 18:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I have several books on the Malta Airwar so I am aware of his time there. i am not a relative but I believe you can still apply for records and recieve some details.
Digging a bit further there is a John L Tayleur who was born in India in 1923, married in 1951 and died in 1956 age only 33, info on London gazette shows he was in the RAF up to at least 1953, so could be from an air accident.
I am trying to find out if this is the John L Tayleur that went to Malta, i guess the only thing to do will be to apply for the records and hope it is the right guy.
thanks for your interest

Hello
Thanks for that, checking on the London Gazette brings up several enteries for him, still not sure that he is the Tayleur I am after, although unable to find another for the right time period.
Need to try and locate a Tayleur that may have him on their family tree.
Cheers
Paul
Ps. Thanks to Malta Aviation Museum for photo.

World War Two / John Tayleur (RAF Pilot)
« on: Wednesday 17 November 10 17:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello.
I am trying to find out details on an RAF pilot known as J L Tayleur he flew one of the first Spitfires off HMS Eagle in 1942 to Malta. He was known by the nickname Junior whilst there. He was sent back to England later in the year having been wounded in the eyes by splinters from the canopy of his Spitfire after it was hit by a German Fighter. Having recovered he was an instructor at 52 Operational Training Unit then sent overseas again later
He may possibly be John Lovett Tayleur born in India in 1923.
Be pleased to hear from anyone who knows any more details.

Derbyshire / Re: Derbyshire mines pre 1910
« on: Friday 01 October 10 19:58 BST (UK) »
Thanks everyone for the info - lots to work on now. I suppose the way to go would be find the maps to narrow down the mines they could possibly have worked at. You are absolutely right nelliedee, I think there are a few possibilities of where they could have worked as they lived in and around Tibshelf.

Derbyshire / Derbyshire mines pre 1910
« on: Monday 27 September 10 14:45 BST (UK) »
Hi. I have a number of ancestors who worked in the coal mines of Derbyshire pre 1910, going as far back as 1850ish. Is there anyway of finding out which mines they worked at ie is there some sort of register? I have searched on the net and cannot find any maps/references to coal mines between these dates, except for a few articles about mining disasters. Family names that I am researching are Wild (or Wilde) and Stocks. Is anybody able to point me in the right direction?

Hi, have not used Rootschat for ages but hopefully I can help. Have you tried contacting the Aviation Museum at Ta' Qali, Malta (am I allowed to post website address here?). We have been there quite a few times and they are always very helpful for info.

Yes, I have birth certificate.
Back Lane is where the Stocks lived. At the time of his marriage to Annie (have marriage cert too) he lived at Prospect Row Pilsley and at birth (?) Sampson's Row Pilsley. Don't have birth certificates for children.
Thomas Henry mother was Mary Haywood and father (!!) Thomas Wild.
