They had a child together, Grace Day Taylor on 2 Oct 1916 (date confirmed by death reg and 1939 register)

After that Percy disappears.
Fanny Grace Taylor is shown as a Widow (Sep 1939) in the Mapperley Hospital, Porchester Road, Nottingham.

Her Probate
TAYLOR Fanny Grace of 11 Warren-avenue Hayden-road Nottingham widow died 19 November 1939 at The City Mental Hospital Nottingham Administration Nottingham 29 February to Grace Day Taylor spinster. Effects £1229 4s 5d.

Bearing in mind the daughter was born early Oct 1916, (Conceived Jan/Feb 1916?) can anyone suggest a possible death for Percy?

Thank you.

Do you know his exact date of birth?

Even though it states wife Fanny is a widow on her probate, wondering about this one.....

This looks about the right time for his birth date as he is 7 months old on 1891 census BUT it means that Fanny Grace was not a widow when she died in 1939 ??

Interesting!! Thank you. Off out, but will be back later.

Added - sorry, no DOB known

there is a percy taylor married to a florence in 1916 nottinghamshire
also one in 1928 and 1929

Dea.... ;-) x

Just had a thought that I might have made a boo-boo and assigned him the wrong marriage :-(

Sigh - back to the drawing board. It all seemed to 'fit' at the time :-0 :-0

Oooops!

:-D

Could he have died in the 1st World War?

Are we still following the same Percy but not with that wife and child ?

Dea x

no percy dying in world war 1 that matches his age

Come back soon Det - 'all is forgiven' :-D

We just need to know who we are looking for ;-) :-D :-D

Dea x :-S

:-D :-D

What are we looking for? What ever happened to Percy Taylor b 1890.

The 1911 census is ok, but after then? The one living with Florence might be a possibility.
Chris - he could have died in WW1. Who knows?
:-S

there is also this one

Aw gawd - how many are there? His birth was reg 3rd quarter, so possibly too early for him. Thank you for looking Maddie.

I'd hoped the 1939 register would have been conclusive, but it seems not to be.

Percy still alive in 1931, when his mother died:

National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations),
Name: Eliza Ann Taylor
Probate Date: 10 Feb 1931
Registry: Nottingham, England
Death Date: 8 Jan 1931
Death Place: Nottingham, England


Eliza Ann of 112 Exeter Road Nottingham widow, died 8 January 1931 Probate Nottingham 10 February to Percy Taylor Silk Warper.

Forgotten about that AustinQ & the address sounds familiar from the 1939. Other family members may have been living there.

Although people did change occupations, would Percy have swapped from a Silk warper to an Assurance agent as per the household with Florence?

This is doing me 'ead in!

Doesn't seem a likely change of occupation !! I'll take a better look tomorrow if no-one has found the answer.

this is the family in 1901
