I have some more info.
Children of Thomas Malligaum Taylor
Redpath Taylor was born March 11 1850 and died July 29 1852.
Helen Ida married Valentine John Robert Christian, a widower, on Feb. 29 1908 in Vancouver and they then moved to England. He died in Eastbourne in 1916 and she died in February 1938 in a nursing home in Godalming, Surrey.
Edward Thornton Taylor died September 25 1922 at Camp Pakwar, Mandla Central Provinces, India. Except for the eldest daughter, the family appears to have settled in England. His wife Alice died September 3 1937 in South Norwood, London and left her (modest) estate to her son Edward Archibald Thornton and her daughter Frances Audrey Margaret who had married John Stenson. The Stenson’s daughter Amanda Jane married Harlan L Davis in London in 1954. It looks as if he was American and she moved to the USA. From travel records, it appears that Edward Archibald Thornton Taylor was a colonial civil servant (political officer) based on the Gold Coast (modern day Ghana). Phyllis Madeleine Taylor, who died in London in 1979, married Charles Marriott in London in 1924 and their son David Giles was born on March 26 1927. In the 1950s he worked in Nigeria as an “education officer” which suggests that he was a colonial civil servant at the time. He married Vilma Anne Stuttle (born January 5 1937) in 1957 in Surrey, England. Either he died early or the marriage foundered quickly as she remarried in 1963 and then again in 1971, dying two years later.
Children of Edward Thornton Taylor (son of ADT)
Kate Peploe married William Albert Hanrahan (died December 31 1929) and they had five children, three of whom died in infancy (Edward Thornton, Albert Stanislaus, and Dorothea). She died February 28 1940 in Windsor, Ontario where she had spent all her married life and she is buried in the cemetery of St Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church. Their daughter Mona Beatrice was actually baptised Mary Beatrice.
Alexandra Victoria Taylor married twice. Her first husband was Robert Fetherstonhaugh (it may be Fetherstonlaugh as the writing in the Drouin records is difficult to decipher) and in 1898 she married Charles Edward Hardie and they had two children Gwyneth Dougall and George Taylor. Gwyneth married Geoffrey Hadrill in 1921 and her brother married Dorothy Cochrane Drysdale in 1931 in Montréal. I have seen internet postings which state that Dorothy also married William Alexander Hyndman so what happened to the marriage is not known.
Ida Beatrice Taylor and her husband William Dickinson Farrell Mackintosh lived in Chicago where he died in 1929.
Douglas Thornton Taylor married Grace Caroline Anderson and they had a daughter Helen Anderson born in 1902. Their grandson Duncan Anderson Willmott died in 2006
Children of James Williamson Taylor
There are no known children for Mary Isobel who married twice. She married Archie Gordon Robertson on October 11 1898 but the first marriage was short-lived as she married Eugene Shelton Randall on December 30 1903. He was American and they eventually settled in Florida. By 1930 she was a widow. (Her US nationality dates from her marriage date as per information on passenger lists.) Her photograph attached is from a1922 passport application. Edith died shortly after birth but Lillian who was based in New York lived a long life like her sister Mary Isobel. She visited Montreal after Mary Isobel’s death to inherit her estate.
Emily Daisy married Thomas Palmer Howard (Eugene Randall was a witness at their marriage.) and they had at least two sons – Thomas Palmer Howard (b. 19 August 1910) and Gordon Taylor Howard (30/01/1916-90). From internet postings and passenger lists, it is clear that their son Thomas Palmer Howard (a lawyer) married Katherine Esmond Pineo and they had at least two children – Anne S and Thomas Palmer. I have found a Montreal Gazette report of the marriage in Montreal on August 22 1964 of Thomas Palmer Howard Jr, son of Thomas Palmer Howard QC, to Sandra Jeane Struthers. Gordon Taylor Howard married Katharine Stevenson on January 29 1940 in Montréal. (Katharine may still have been alive in 2007 as the gravestone for her and her husband did not have a date of death for her.)
