Find Ancestors

Hi all, I realise I'm replying on an old thread, and this isn't critical to the genealogy ... but Luanshya is in Zambia (not Zimbabwe) ... I lived in Y Avenue.

Ok Sylv wilco :))

Dizzi...Dad trained at HMS Ganges which was a boys' training depot, I don't think it was a ship in the true sense, bit confused is me.

Meg, Hi flower, Nope dunno when or where grandaddy Taylor died, I know that dad was the only one to come over here, don't even know if Daddy Taylor is still breathing this precious air. I know he high tailed it down south somewhere tho, and married again the muppet. ;)

I am hard pushed to see what we can do with the Taylors. If grandad William Corry Taylor was born in Rhodesia, the I am a bit lost. Did he die in the UK? Loads of Wiliam C Taylors in Free BMD. Bob, do you know when he died?

Sorry Bobso.

nah


leave it



someone might still see and have a bright idea, or a lead.



It will stay listed in your My Threads, so you'll always be able to find it, and raise it to the surface if you want.

Your not Dizzi Rascal by any chance are you ????


:))))))

Dizzi,

thank you for butting in 'cos I think I'm going to need all the help I can get with this one.

Rob

Here it is peeps,

St Clements Church, Chorlton Cum Hardy. Manchester. 23/4/1955. Marriage of Marion Dore and William Corry Taylor.

William's fathers name....William Corry Taylor ( Doh, no imagination !)
William's fathers occupation...Plasterer.
Marion's fathers name.....Cyril Dore.
Marion's fathers occupation...Lorry Driver.

Dads father was recorded as ' Deceased' at the time of marriage.

that's it....

Not much to go on really is there

Think I might be pushing it with this one

I am sure Rob will be very grateful for your 'butt in' Dizzi.

That info is very useful - I will take a look around.

Thanks again,

Dea x

DONT MEAN TO BUT IN BUT THERE WAS A LARGE
RAINBIRD DYNASTY IN LAMBETH/HACKNEY
AREA,,,,,

Sylvia, Jax, Cynth, Janey, Margaret,Mary get over to Cyril Dore thread and get a load of my new discovery....A web link .click on it and just have a looky looky.

Robxx

yeah


'cept they belong to OH!


and wait till I get onto OH's other families ..... some of 'em were apparently Quakers. Lived in Lancashire till the persecution got bad, then moved to Westmorland. Stayed there until persecution, etc. Then they moved back to Lancashire

AND they all used the same forenames over and over again!

try finding out the birth places of their kids, or their marriages!


and then there were the Welsh ones, who seem to add and subtract names at will



mind you, Janey's the one for having ancestors who change names willy nilly!

Sylvia you're a rum one hehehe!!

I agree Taylor doesn't sound like a foreign name does it? Seeing as Taylor is supposed to be a derivative of Tailor to sew cloth make clothes ect, in other words it's a job name huh? And I'm sure the Dutch Germans had an appropriate name for it, what d'ya reckon?


Cynthia, it's ok hon Your all mad so I'll let you off :)

Jax...I'de love to be your cousin, ( especially with your Genealogical know how ::))))) xx

Robxx

and my lot seem to have moved between Yorkshire and Westmorland, with the odd side trip to Lancashire and Cheshire

My lot (actually OH's lot), had probably never even heard of Watford!

Scouse is one dialect which our JC simply cannot understand apparently!! Wonder why?? lol

Apologies Robbie lad, we're hijacking your thread.......;))

No Cyn can't be related then my lot never lived north of Watford. Tell a lie a gt gt gt grandmother lived in Liverpool briefly with her 1st husband, she probably could'nt understand the accent and came back to London lol

jax

Hey jax my friend..........your lot could be related to my lot........if they started out in Scotland and ended up in Liverpool of course!!


Robert......we are all mad y'know :))


Cx

lol!!


those Taylors spread all over!
