    Hi Ron, your grandparents' marriage cert would give you the forename of your great granddad.

        there is a George Edward Whitehead Taylor b Jan 1903 baptised 17th May 1903 at St Clement, Urmston ,
        Father Edmund / mother Hester
        abode 56 Queens Road , Urmston
        a total stab in the dark - but - did Edward have any children named Edmund or Hester ?
        Urmston FC play in the Salford Football League ...so must be local to Salford ....

          Allan, in the 1911 census return Edward's place of birth was given as Salford. He was at 34 Rossall St Salford, the home of his aunt, Mrs Elizabeth Hughes. There was what could be a possible mar between James Hughes & Elizabeth Taylor Jun qtr 1907 in Salford Reg Dist. Taylor is a fairly common name in that area, so without knowing the name of either of Edward's parents, I can go no further as yet.

            George Taylor, s/o Edmund & Hester, was at home with his parents and siblings in 1911 at 56 Queens Rd Urmston.

              Even if his age is right in 1911 Ron and you narrow his possible birth, in Salford, down as far as possible, you still end up with 4 possible births. With a name like Taylor and a busy area like Salford it isn't even possible to narrow down his aunt Elizabeth in an earlier census. An earlier poster was right when they said that his marriage cert would seem to be the only way to go from here to find out his father's name and occupation. Which hopefully might narrow it down considerably.

                  So, was the father of Edward Taylor named George Taylor, who was deceased in 1924, when his son married? And you think Edward's mother may have been called Elizabeth, possibly Davies before her marriage? have I got that right, please?

                    There is a marr reg for a George William Taylor marrying in Manchester in June qtr 1906 - one of the two brides was Elizabeth Davies. Could that have been the marriage ?

                        That one says that they have had 2 children both alive though Janet and they both appear to be listed.

                          Chrissie, isn't it children of the marriage that are supposed to be entered? IF this is the right family, then Edward was born in 1903 & the parents married in 1906, so 2 would have been the correct answer. (It's also possible they didn't include Edward because he wasn't at home; either he was "visiting " the aunt, or he could have lived with her full -time - we have no way of knowing?)

                            There are birth entries for several Edward Taylors c1903 Salford, but there is also one for Edward Davies.

                              Oh I see what you mean Janet. So do you think that it might have been a second marriage for one/or both of them perhaps and maybe the step mother said that she had enough on her plate with her own.

                                It's quite a teaser this one Janet. It's because the names aren't at all uncommon. Perhaps if we could find George in 1901 and see if a possible first wife died between 1903 and 1906?

                                  It could have been George who was the step-parent??

                                    Ron, Did your granddad have any brothers and sisters? If he did, do you know any of the names, and were they older or younger than Edward?

                                      Strikes me that Edward was illegitimate born to Elizabeth Davies before the marriage to George Taylor in 1906 and maybe he was looked after by the aunt because of the other children born to the marriage.

                                      Giving George as his father and simply using the surname Taylor would fit in with making things look right on records etc. if mum was named Taylor - happens all the time!

                                        That is indeed the theory I was hinting at, Margaret! (I think Elizabeth may have been in the Salford workhouse in 1901- she would have been single and 21, so of working age?? Mmmmm) But my only reservation is that perhaps it was a sister of George who was caring for Edward in 1911, rather than a relative of Elizabeth.
