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.Janet in Yorkshire

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?Last edited by Janet in Yorkshire; 30-03-13, 12:11.Janet in Yorkshire

Might this be George & Elizabeth in 1911? ....... http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...6584166&recoff=Janet in Yorkshire

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?)Janet in Yorkshire

Originally posted by Janet in Yorkshire View PostThere are birth entries for several Edward Taylors c1903 Salford, but there is also one for Edward Davies.
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.Janet in Yorkshire
