So does this mean EDNA wasn't the Chapman...Hilda, his second wife was/became one?

Which would mean that the Edna Parr birth in Halifax is probably what you are looking for

Jude

No, the birth certs of Albert's children have mm Chapman.

TAYLOR Edna V TAYLOR TAYLOR CHAPMAN 1901 Cheltenham Cheltenham, Cheltenham

So how did she become Chapman because the Parr marriage is the only marriage that fits (and has a birth to go with it)

If they didn't actually marry and was born Chapman, then where is her birth?

:-S :-S

Jude

I think that's what Emma's trying to find out!!

This looks like the Edna Parr/ Albert Taylor 1901, so not our Edna:

In case you don't have this........

Albert Start Taylor in the England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966
Name: Albert Start Taylor

Registry: London, England

Death Place: Leicestershire, Leicester, England

Of 68 Parklands Drive, Loughborough, Leicestershire.

To Mark Guy Pearce...solicitor...and Herbert Stanley Williams...solicitors clerk.

Effects: £704...1s

Thank you very much for your help everyone I will look at the info again and see if any small clue can give me anything. I have Edna's death certificate and my grandfathers birth certificate with her as mother which states previously chapman. Will look at my great grandfather death certificate as a angle. I am curious as it looks as though he had 2 children to his second wife... Was looking to see if I could track them down

Is this Albert
Albert Harry A S Taylor J/F/M 1873 Leicestershire V7a P 199

No sign of this man after this.
Just thought he might have married under another Christian name.

Maryb.

Have you any of the other children's birth certs of Alfred and Edna
to make sure of maiden name


I know of a Lady who used her married name as her maiden name
as she wasn't married to the father of the child

Mavis

Another child was 1913 Gertrude Mary Taylor mum nee Chapman and twin brother Charles V7a P440

Maryb.

Sydney Vincent was also a twin (to Ernest J) but his birth on 1939 says 1915 when he was actually born in 1917.

This doesn't help with Edna at the moment, but might be of interest.

Reading through the articles on Albert's bankruptcy, one of them states:

"In answer to Mr Scott, debtor said he let Mrs Dibben of Leicester have his bike, as he owed her £45 and she was willing to have the machine...."

So this appears to be Albert in 1891- but what he didn't say in the article was that Mrs Dibben's was his Mum.

Could do with finding the 1881 to see if she's perhaps living with a Taylor, or has Albert with her.

wonder if the chapman could be any relation to edna? could they have known each other through albert? hum... will request some certificates today. many thanks everyone

Just for the record:

Marriages Dec 1861 (>99%)
PRICE Emma Blaby 7a 129
START Thomas Blaby 7a 129

Was there any connection to the head of the house in 1901 at 20,Portland Street
Edith transcribed as Hillard but I'm not sure it is that. Not known where born,also gives her age as 39 but that could be wrong as they seem to got Edna and Albert's ages wrong.

Emma Dibben of Freemans Cottage died 12/7/1923 probated to Albert Harry Andrew Start-Taylor £787 8s 2d

Maryb.

Nice work Mary- that confirms the 1873 birth you put up for Albert earlier is the correct one.- So he was registered a Taylor / Start- Taylor.

Think I'd just have to buy that birth cert!!

When Emma marries Dibben one of the witnesses is Elizabeth Taylor- a connection to the Taylor name perhaps?

bought the birth certificate tonight... will post when I know more - thank you so much for your help. I keep updating the information as I go along. Think I may have to get more access. :)

oh just looked at the probate - so do you think Thomas who Emma married was using start-taylor a double barell name but only start was recorded and then albert start taylor was then registered for my grandfather who then dropped the start and went by taylor? just a thought?
