Find Ancestors

i have been looking for the taylor side of my family my nana was born elizabeth ann taylor and her father was george william taylor and mother lily mary beckett (nee thompson) i am having trouble finding the perants of george william taylor. my nana has told me that his father was walter taylor who i know was killed in france in 1917 and his mothers name was elizabeth jane searby but i can not find george williams birth with this mothers maiden name i also know that george william taylor is a twin and his sister was edith mary taylor. i also can not find the perants of walter taylor, george william taylors father i know his name was francis taylor who i think married a martha. can anyone help me please.

Could we have some years, dates and a geographical location please? Taylor is rather a common name!

If George William Taylor was born before Sep 1913, then his mother's maiden name won't be shown on the gro index.

i do not know any dates the only information i have is on the death of walter taylor which is what i have been sent from the memorial book kept for visitors which has the following information

TAYLOR.PTE.WALTER 70946
SHERWOOD FORESTERS 9TH BATTN. 4TH MAY 1917 AGED 31. SON OR FRANK TAYLOR OF BENNINGTON. BOSTON

walter taylor and elizabeth searby was married 2nd nov 1903 at parish church butterwick, boston. lincs

I dont know if this information is correct on the marriage as it is what i have been sent to me by a family member who is unsure.

BECKETT Edward -38 - Grimsby 7a 1521
---------------------------------------

Maybe his birth

Births Jun 1902

Unless the marriage record wasn't copied to the gro, the only Lincolnshire marriage for a Walter Taylor in 1903 was to a Charlotte Harrod

Marriages Mar 1903 (>99%)
Harrod Charlotte Spilsby 7a 803
Taylor Walter Spilsby 7a 803

Assuming you have the correct transcription of his death, Walter would have been born 1886 +/- 1

i can not see that they have got a son called walter so would this be the right people?

I'm not happy with it to be honest. The 1891 census doesn't include Walter either.
Mike's suggestion is more probable
