id appreciate if any kind person would take a bit of time and try and help me solve these mysteries?
if any1 is willing to help me the names of the children i need bdms for are- sarah jane swan born 1883 in silloth-cumbria and emma swan born 1889 in wallsend newcastle.

Emma

You have mis-read Jim's info......

he has given you the birth, marriage and death details for Jane............


As for the Taylors....all the info about them will be on pay-to-view sites..............and extremely difficult to find, unless you can say when they married.....and who they married.

It is also better to start a new thread when asking for help with another set names.......otherwise things get very muddled...........
