TAYLOR Family

[TunjiLees]

Census ages can be completely wrong but it seems the New Zealand thing rules that out . Can you find either family in 1851 or 1841? I am still interested in finding a link, even if it is not directly through the parents of James Taylor.

Why are you asking me if I know the parents of my James? In my previous posts I was discussing the possibility of it being your John Taylor and Mary Fyfe! ~_~
The furthest I have traced that line back is to James Taylor and Agnes Gold.

I think you should be purchasing your James' death certificate to confirm his parents' names. Only then will you be able to, hopefully, link back to Tish's own Taylors.

The problem is that there are 4 likely candidates, as well as 3 less likely ones.

The Taylor family linked to us is all set out in a book called 'The Taylor millions'

I just thought if you had any other possible information i could look it up for you in the book.

I can go back another generatation from John Taylor and Mary Fyfe.

The reason i was asking  is not all lines that arent direct are complete, so if your James was the son of James brother or sister, then it could be fesable, given the dates etc that there is a connection somewhere.  

For your future records if  you happen to stumble on any other information:

John Taylor and Mary Fyfes children:

John Taylor b.23/2/1806
Robert Taylor b. 21/12/1808 - twin
Jane Taylor b. 21/12/1808 - twin
William Taylor b. 26/8/ 1811
and my James b. 8/06/ 1814 - married betsy Morrison.

At this stage, none of the information you have posted links to any information i have here, thats no to say it doesnt link at some point in another area.

Cheers

Hopefully someone can narrow the list down by consulting census records.

Thank you.

Hopefully someone can narrow the list down by consulting census records.

You can definitely rule out the pre-1891 ones. James and Agnes are visiting their daughter, Elizabeth, in 1891. I'll send you the full details through PM.

I would say the last one would be your man.    Given the 1861 census that has your Euphemia Taylor on it, puts James Taylors birth year at 1823.

Its highly unlikely to be the first two or the 1887 one either.

I would start with the 1897 death.

Good luck with your search.

How is the searching going? is there anything that i can look up for you?

Hello Tish,

I dislike spending 1£ to view a certificate, but I suppose I will pay for it if I am certain of the correct death for James. I'm still unsure which to go for because several of the possibilities I found most likely before, I now know are definately not him.

Perhaps you can try and find a likely James Taylor (perhaps in Kemback) and Agnes Gold (perhaps in St Andrews) in 1841?
Also, can you see if they are still around in 1901?

Thanks for the offer.
