Back in 1984 my Great Uncle Harold wrote a book called A CAPTAIN'S TALE by Captain H N Taylor
In the first chapter he writes about his family....his grandfather (My Great Grandfather) Charles Taylor born 1868 meeting his Grandmother at Cannes on the French Riviera.
She originated in Roby, a village of Liverpool, where the Duke of Guise had found refuge from Republican France. He apparently had daughters only, who found their futures by marrying English men.
However permission to marry carried the stipulation that the name Guise had to be adopted. Hence his mother Marie Guise was a twig upon the Guise family tree. She died when my Harold was 3 years old.
Harold was born 1899 he had two brothers Victor born 1898 and Ronald 1900 mother & father being Charles Taylor & Marie Guise
Once Marie Guise died around the year 1902 Charles remarried my Great Grandmother Florence Bennett................That is my connection back to Bartlett Bennett.
My question is ................Is Marie Guise really a twig upon the Guise Family Tree, or something that was made up to make a good family story? because i have not found any evidence to support this story.
