Did Margaret die before the 1891?

Deaths Sep 1886
Taylor Margaret 47 Woolwich 1d 643

This means she would have been abt 44 when she had Edward John.

I have the birth of EDWARD JOHN in 1883,and says parents are WILLIAM and MARGARET BROOKS, then I sent for the marriage of WILLIAM and MARGARET, so I think they are right parents and so do you. Actually, Edward John went on to name his daughter in 1911 MARGARET, so think with loads of help from you and everyone have cracked it. Thanks soooo much xxx

I think his birth is either one of these.....

Births Sep 1883
TAYLOR Edward John Woolwich 1d 1191

or this one...

Births Sep 1882
Taylor Edward Woolwich 1d 1134


Nothing else comes close!

Good luck and dont forget the rule....never pay more than £7 per cert.

BASTABLE Alfred Woolwich 1d 1539

Checked on Alfred and Elizabeth BASTABLE. They are in Portsmouth in 1901. Alfred born Hampshire.Elizabeth born Woolwich.

Yeh, thats the one I thought at first, like I say I changed my mind when I found William with Margaret who was a Carman. UUURRHH! It's so frustrating. I don't know where to go next ! I suppose he could have changed jobs in between 4 years as like someone said, the CARMAN job was linked to the railway as well. I already looked that up the other week as I wasn't sure what a carman was. Thanks so much for your very helpful ideas. At least someone else has same thoughts as I have had, even though there is a possible 2 families !

gotta go OH got doc appt will look in later

Now this Edward could be 22 in 1905

This is the family already posted in the 1891 census on your thread.

Shirley

ok will call it up back in a mo

I've found the 1 1901 census which is WILLIAM and MARY, but can't find other one in 1901

they are listed on this thread on page 1

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

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

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 !!!

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

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

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 !
