Hi I am looking for information on any of the Taylor family who in 1841 lived in Workington before moving to the Durham area - Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor. In the 1900's some of the family moved to Yorkshire -Barnsley, Batley, Dewsbury and Mirfield. Any help would be appreciated. Keith

Hi I have worked back as far as 1785 to Joseph Taylor born 1785 in Bolton Cumbria but not sure of family before that.Would also like to find what happened to brothers and sisters of each generation. Have not come across the name longstaff in my research.
Thanks Val
