Hi

Good to hear from you. First of all, a correction, it's Malligaum not Mulligaum - a touch of fat finger there.

I've attached a photograph from the Taylor memorial at Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Looking at Cosmac's info - I have found the Hanrahan's in the 1891 census but cannot find them in the 1901 and 1911 census on Automated Geneaology. Mona Beatrice Hanrahan was born 10 Feb 1897 in Walkerville, Essex, Ontario.

Thank you, Jacquie -- super-girl! :D :D  Jan and I have been exchanging some interesting (well, to us!) PMs on 'the clan'; and FYI of my helpful Canadian rootschatter friends, Jan has told me that the middle name "Malligaum" of Thomas M Taylor comes from a place/battle in India, where one of his mother's siblings (also called Thomas) lost his life in 1818.  Rather a sweet way to commemorate and remember him, I thought.

Blimey, I've just noticed I've just told everybody what Jan had already told us earlier in this thread -- i.e. about the origins of the name "Malligaum" -- how embarrasing!!! :-[ :-[ :-[  Sorry, everybody -- thought it was something Jan had mentioned to me in one of his PMs. I've been hopping about all over the internet today and clearly have lost track of whether I'm coming or going!  (And definitely forgotten where I've been!)

Sorry, folks!

CELTIC ANNIE

P.S.  Thanks for sharing this further photo, Jan -- really hope I get to see the memorial for myself, one day!

I've searched the OCFA site for the Hanrahans. I was unable to find Catharine Hanrahan who is reported in an earlier message to have died in 1940 and to be buried at St Alphonsus RC cemetery (old). However there is a WA Hanrahan buried there and a Mona B Hanrahan who may be the daughter of Kate Peploe Taylor and William Albert Hanrahan.

Time to put a little flesh on the bones!

Archibald Dunbar Taylor (b c1793) was named after his godfather Sir Archibald Dunbar of Northfield. The family moved to Canada in 1835  apparently so that ADT would work on canal building there (family document). In economic terms he did not succeed but his son Thomas Malligaum Taylor did well for himself and at the age of 21 (1843/44) he bought a property for his parents (a cottage on Clarke Avenue, Westmount then the village of St Antoine).

TMT with his brother James Williamson founded the firm of Taylor Bros which became the leading stock and produce broking firm. In 1862, together with their brother Edward Thornton, went into the fire insurance business being sole agents for the Home and Colonial Insurance Co and later for the Northern Insurance Co and the Scottish Imperial Co which became the Caledonian Insurance Co.

Through his marriage to Mary Redpath, TMT established a strong link to the Redpath family who became a dominant force in Montreal. Together with his aunt Jane Barnard (née Davies) TMT bought a country property in Upper Melbourne, PQ. This was originally a summer residence (no heating) but became a focal point for the family. It was later taken on by his son-in-law Arthur Wells Robinson who invested heavily in the building and surrounding land to create a model farm. The property was sold to the RC church in the 1940s.

TMT was a very religious man who published a collection of hymns. He later joined the Plymouth Brethren. A church was built on the site of his Montreal home (169 Drummond Street) demolished shortly after his death.

I'll be putting up more posts about the family.

Descendants of Thomas Malligaum Taylor.

I can add the following info.:

Children of Alice Jane Taylor Brailsford - Ethel Wood Brailsford married Frederick James Burnley in 1904 but she died in 1912. Her husband then married her sister Enid Taylor Brailsford and they had a daughter Alison born in 1919. Alice Redpath Brailsford married Richard Taylor Booth in 1906 and they had six children - Meredith Taylor, Eliza, Margaret, Herbert, Dorothy Brailsford, and Jack.  (All from FreeBMD). Meredith died in 1994 and had four children. Dorothy died in 2003 and had two children.

Archibald Dunbar Taylor was a lawyer who became a KC after moving to Vancouver from Montreal via Milwaukee. A plaque in his memory has been erected in Montreal as part of the Hockey Walk of Fame - he was an early pioneer of ice hockey. He was a theatre owner in Montreal as well. His wife, Isabel Churchill Craigie was a noted photographer in her day. They had five children of whom two died in infancy. Kenneth Churchill Craigie Taylor died from wounds received at the Battle of the Somme. There are living descendants from the other two children. (Obituary attached)

Edward Thornton Taylor was born in 1858 (and not 1850 as per Wikipedia). Details of his military career can be found easily on the internet. He had a great passion for big game shooting and he died from a stroke while on a final post-retirement expedition in India. He is buried at Mandla, UP, India. He married Alice Madeleine Campbell and they had four children - Alice Mary, Edward Archibald Thornton, Frances Audrey Margaret, and Phyllis Madeleine. Alice Mary Taylor (known as Ailsie) married William Palmer Ladd and they lived in New England - she died in Maryland in 1961. They had four children - John Hilda, Edward Taylor, Penelope, and Persis Joan. There are further descendants. The other three children eventually settled in England.

Gertrude St Francis Taylor married Emile Lambert and they had two daughters - Helen Theodora (d1967) and Margaret Rachel Clare (d1987). The latter married David Willis and they had a son Theodore.

Margaret Beatrice Taylor married Arthur Wells Robinson and they had one son Francis Evans Malligaum Robinson who appears to have died in Oregon in 1988. he married Margaret Lois Joanna Warren and they had at least two children. Francis contributed to a book on economics in the 1930s and he was involved in the property at Upper Melbourne, PQ (see previous posting).
