Thank you Mary, That looks very interesting with a Mary taylor and Frank caffell living in the same premises in 1871 with James Taylor only 2 doors away. I think I will make a few further enquiries into this information to see where it takes me.

James Taylor married Mary Ann Hackland in 1892 in Ross. This is definately the correct couple as Mary Ann Hackland is the right person linked to my family. 3 of the first children they had, my grandmothers 3 elder brothers were born in Ross, although the name William James Taylor comes into the frame on his death cerificate and also on the 1911 census. The date of birth was provided by my grandmothers youngest sister as 03.Nov. 1862.

Sorry But I am still not clear as to who we are looking up. I think it is James Taylor married to Mary Ann and he was born in 1862 in Wales??????

Belinda, this looks promising the year of birth is slightly out, but I find that some dates and names are not always recoreded correctly.

Chris the 1911 Cencus data you provide is the correct family

I headed the post William james taylor as that is the name on the death certificate I have and that is the name his youngest child have provided the birth date at 03 Nov 1862. The Marraige certificate to Mary Ann Hackland who I can confirm is his wife lists him as James Taylor. I don;t know why, but whether William james or just james they appear to be the same person.

HI Nick

Where have you got his full date of birth from please?

Nick

Nick Report 27 Feb 2012 18:32

I am assuming it was Presteigne, Radnorshire, Wales, but checks locally for a birth certificate have proved negative. So I wonder if there is a place called Prestien, but I can't find one.
