My FIL passed away 2 weeks ago and I have decided to try again.
I am looking for the marriage ( need this to find his father) of William Teer and a ? Elizabeth Schofield Taylor.
FIL wasn't sure what her first name was. I've found on census she was Lillian.
That problem solved.
1891 census William head age 29 Job Merchant
Lillian age 24
Leo age 1 mth.
1901 Census ( mistranscribed as TEEN)
William Head age 40 Joiner
Lillian wife age 20 ( closer look at census says 30 )
James Les ( Leo ) age 9 (have birth cert - mother's name Lillian)
Lillian age 6
Ethel age 3 ( have birth cert - Mothers name Lillian )
Now, the family came to England from IOM sometime early 1800's. With this in mind I have found a William born 1861 Manchester, Parents John ( joiner ) & Isabella born IOM (RG10/3999). This is a possibility.
The other possible is William born 1860 to Thomas ( Mechanic Iron turner ) and Elizabeth RG9/2928. But they were both born in Manchester.
The only marriage I can find between a Wm Teer and Lillian Taylor is 1915, and I ordered that and they were in there 20's. ( assuming she was married before since her family did not approve - they came from "up steps" )So not them.
The child Lillian BTW, I couldn't find birth cert but have found marriage, and she was Dorothy!But known as Lil.
I have no idea when Wm or Lillian died but apparently Lillian died when the children were quite young. FIL said that Frank their 4th child was living with Lillian (2nd child) when he was 14. ( between 1902 - 16 ).
Hoping you super sleuths out there can help.
