TAYLOR George RICHARDSON Mary Ann Hindmarsh SA

[Kiwitaylor]

I only have Hannah Taylor b 16/08/1874 at Hindmarsh and Fred (not Fredrick) b 28/09/1881 (registered 14/10/1881) at New Thebarton, Hindmarsh, South Australia. The parents are George Taylor an Engineer and Mary Ann Richardson. I have nothing more on Hannah, George or Mary Ann - don't know if they came from England or where-ever. I am unsure if there were any other children.  I have no marriage or deaths for any in Australia. Fred came to NZ when he was about 17-19 (1898-90). I have everything on Fred once he married in NZ - he is my husbands Grandfather. I do know that around 1915-20 George & Mary Ann were still in South Australia wanting to come to NZ but Fred's wife sent the mail back return to sender. Family lost contact after that.

Hi Kiwitaylor,

A Big Welcome to RootsChat. 

I don't see any further births to this couple, nor do they appear to have married in SA. I do however note the arrival on the 10 May 1874 aboard the  HESPERUS

TAYLOR George
TAYLOR Mary A
TAYLOR George
TAYLOR William

Of course with such a common name there may be others.

Cheers Kris

Hi Kris
The children George & William have poped up a couple of times - they both died WW1. But I don't have their births, to show mothers maiden name. On the AIF records it showed both born in SA - George in Hindmarsh. I have a feeling they may not be Mary Ann (nee Richardson) there were so many George Taylor's married to a Mary Ann.
We were told that there were two sisters of Fred but I can't find them. I don't even know where George Taylor & Mary Ann Richardson married or died.
Many thanks.
Cheers
Kiwi

There are possible fits re marriages using these possible sons names in the right area but alas with such a common name  

TAYLOR William 23 single  father George TAYLOR = LAMPSHIRE Emily 24 single father Josiah LAMPSHIRE 25 Feb 1887  Baptist Manse West Hindmarsh Dist Hin 150/725

TAYLOR George 22 Single father George TAYLOR - MCGREGOR Agnes 22 single father James MCGREGOR 6 Nov 1888 Res of Rev O Lake Brompton Dist Hin 157/452

Are you sure it was these boys who perished in WW1 or perhaps their sons?

Hi Kris
The death of George is the birth era but I think ours died in early 1900's.
The marriages for George & William would make them born 1860's they may be too old as Hannah was b 1874 and Fred b 1881.
I will keep all this just in case though.
What a great start, many thanks

Sons in WW1 - William was single age 26 died June 1916, George m. Cecilia Alice MC LOUGHLIN 1911 in Perth was age 32 died Dec 1916.

So probably different George & William again to yours. Never thought it would be easy !!!

Where would I start to find records of Fred Taylor coming to NZ from South Australia around 1898-1900??

All this certainly makes you interested.

DEATHS

TAYLOR George died 24 Jun 1910 Hospital Adelaide Dist Ade 349 458. He was aged 70, married residence Brompton. Relative G TAYLOR (Son)

TAYLOR Mary Ann died 2 Aug 1917 Hospital Magill Dist Nor 412 3. She was aged 79, a widow, residence Brompton Park. Relative George TAYLOR deceased husband.

Looks very promising that they are indeed the family arriving in 1874 aboard the HESPERUS Mary Ann of an age to have had all 4 children. I will check the passenger list when next at the library.

Not sure about outward passenger lists for that era. There is an index for earlier outwards but only newspaper entries so not very detailed. Alas the index does not go cover this period. Will see what I can find out.

Cheers Kris
