How old was Edward at the time of the Marriage?

Gerri

The only way to find the correct wife is to buy the son's birth cert..........

Even if William was on the ER....which is doubtful.....his wife certainly wouldn't be. Women didn't have the vote in 1905

Thanks Reggie, forgot they didn't get the vote until much later on. Edward was aged 22 at time of his marriage, so I sent for birth cert based on 1883, Dad is William Taylor married to Margaret Brooks and he is a CARMAN but I have also found others that match up too ! There are loads of births for WOOLWICH, also Greenwich, Plumstead also which are in same area. Thats why I'm having difficulty in nailing down parents

William Taylor 51 ..staionary engine driver.born: Woodham Ferrers, Essex

Stationary Engine Driver... Operated steam factory engine, used for all processes, usually linked by a system of shafts, pulleys and belts


Carman...Driver of (horse-drawn) vehicles for transporting goods. Carmen were often employed by railway companies for local deliveries and collections of goods and parcels. Modern day van driver. Also sometimes someone who drove horse-drawn trams was called a Carman.

Yup, I thought it was that one, not so sure now I found William married to Margaret as that William Taylor is a stationary engine driver, and EDWARD'S dad at least was a CARMAN, albeit in 1905. See why I can't connect with right one !

It's brlliant I am getting so much help from you all.

the two 1901 listed are the only ones for Woolwich with a father William so its a toss up between the two I think

Ref; ALBERT EDWARD TAYLOR
His first name wasn't Alfred on marriage cert, only Edward Taylor. I know they sometimes called themselves by another name !!!

Ref; ALBERT EDWARD TAYLOR
His first name wasn't Albert on marriage cert, only Edward Taylor. I know they sometimes called themselves by another name !!!

BUt based on Edward marrying in sept qtr 1905 and aged 22 I think its unlikely to be the one with mother mary , He was already 19 in early 1901 when the census taken so come Septqtr 1905 he would be at least 23 pos even 24 if his birhday was before Sept qtr 1901

Shirley, can you please send me details of the 2 1901 census you have found so I can check them out. I dont appear to have found them anywhere. xx

they are listed on this thread on page 1
