Gaylard / Prescott

[cosmac]

Online ancestry trees don't seem to have the same children listed for Samuel and Rosalie as your list - probably not yours.

Perhaps this is the brother that Maud was going to when she emigrated?  He was a coachman and that is what her brother's occupation seems to be on the ship's record

What are the ages of Maud's siblings and did they go by middle names as she seemed to do?
Have you checked the 1911 British census for them?

I found a brief obituary in the 9 Sep 1937 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press for Mrs. S.J. Gaylard. She had lived in Pilot Mound, Manitoba at the time of her death. It mentions that she was survived by four sons, Norman and Ernest in England and Bernard and Cyril in the Pilot Mound area. There is no mention of daughters in the obituary. If you would like a copy please PM me your email address.

Hello,

Thank you sooo much for the other information - the Attestation Papers for Mark Prescott,the address he gives for West Kirby Cheshire I can confirm is correct as his father is living there on the 1911 UK census .

Maud Gaylard - patchy info I have from the family,thanks for the Birth Reg in Dec 1892,I will say that it is her, as her birth date is 1st OCT 1892 and appears the surname have been mistranscribed,I did do few searches using alternative spellings I drew a blank(!).

I will back back onto those web links you posted and delve further !

You have been very kind and generous with your time
Many thanks

Dolly.

I have a Samuel Joseph Gaylard born in 1865 in Stoke Sub Hamdon in Somerset. He married a Rosalie Rebecca Hill in 1891 in Kingston, Surrey.

Samuel's father, also Samuel, had moved his family to Surrey at some point as there are records of his son Henry and 3 daughters showing there presence around Chertsey, Woking and Guildford. Henry dies in Horsham where I now live though we are in fact unrelated.

I have 3 sons for Samuel Joseph,
Norman Samuel (Q1 1892 - Surbiton, Surrey)
Alfred Ernest (Q4 1893 - Surbiton, Surrey)
Bernard Stanley (16/9/1895 - Wisley, Surrey)

Bernard's birth in Wisley; Wisley is a small little village near Woking off the main road from Guildford to London, running near to Surbiton. Wisly is however famous for its Royal Horticultural Gardens and exhibitions.

The 1901 England Census has this family living in Pyrford, Surrey. I believe that I found that their farm was just a matter of 100-200 yards from the RHS gardens but I would have to re-check this to be certain.

Norman Samuel married a Gertrude Goddard in 1916 in Farnham, Surrey, a few miles down the road near Aldershot. They had two sons Geoffrey and Peter. Bothe these sons were Blenheim pilots and were killed within weeks of each other in WWII.

Here is an account concerning Peter: Two Blenheims left Banff Shetland at 09.45. Their desination was Trondheim harbour. They were attacked by 2 Bf 109G from J.G. 77.  The Blenheim L9408 QY-F  piloted by Pilot Officer Gaylard was shot down with no survivors. Gaylard, Burran and Wicks were buried in a marsh at the crash site near Hemnekjolen but were reinterred later at Stavne Cemetery. The wreck is still extant and can be viewed at http://home.no.net/kjellsor/lysvollhaugen.html

There are references in the London Gazette for him

Albert Ernest married Dora Byde in Guildford and they had 2 sons and a daughter.

Now, Sarah Maud Gaylard was born in 1892 in Taunton, Somerset. This puts her in the same year as Norman, albeit 9 months away it is possible. The fact that she was born in or near Taunton makes the link between them unlikely.

But there again I can find no record of a Cyril Gaylard either. So if you can tell me a bit more about him maybe I can help dig further.

Did you find the names of Sarah Maud's parents, either from the Brtish birth certificate or the Manitoba marriage?

[mgaylard]

No I have not found Sarah's parents but I am convinced that she is not related to Norman, Ernest and Bernard. The birthplace is wrong and she is not with this family on the 1901 census as you would expect.

[Dolly_007]

Hi,

I have been sidetracked  from the Gaylard's these last few weeks - I will send for the birth cert for Sarah Maud -I will post the parents names on here and see if there is any link.

Cheers
Dolly.

[mgaylard]

Excellent. I am doing a One Name Study of the Gaylard name so if you find her parents I may well be able to take that back further for you
