Thanks again Kath, will go looking for them on earlier census.

Thanks Kath, will take a look at the image, why could I not see that! Thats probably the break to finding Caroline earlier.

I found this Henry Taylor (could be witness), in the 1901 census, living Emsworth, with a father called George who is a fruiterer and greengrocer:- Name: Henry Taylor Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871 Relation: Son Father's name: George Mother's name: Amelia Gender: Male Where born: Sussex, England, Sussex, England Civil Parish: Warblington Ecclesiastical parish: Emsworth St James Town: Emsworth County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Street address: 30 High Street Occupation: Dealer (Greengrocer) Condition as to marriage: Single Education: Employment status: View Image Registration district: Havant Sub-registration district: Havant ED, institution, or vessel: 10 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 56 Household Members: Name Age Florence Miller 11 - visitor Alice Taylor 21 Alice Taylor 23 - daughter-in-law to head Amelia Taylor 63 Arthur Taylor 25 Elsie Taylor 2 - granddaughter to head George Taylor 68 Henry Taylor 30 Lily Taylor 4 - granddaughter to head Winifred Taylor 1 - granddaughter to head Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 977; Folio: 87; Page: 9 Kath. x

I am finally biting the bullet and researching my paternal grandmothers line after 12 years! My paternal grandmother Lilian Alice Maud Brown was born 15th Sept 1901 at 128 Clive Road, Kingston, Portsmouth to John James Brown and Caroline Taylor. (not at that address on 1901 census), fathers occupation given as town postman. I have the marriage certificate for John and Caroline, 27th Mar 1899 at Emsworth, county of Southampton. John is given as age 26, batchelor, Corporal Royal Irish Rifles (no service number), from Gosport, father Robert Steward Forbes Brown late Bandmaster. Caroline is given as age 26, Spinster from Emsworth, father George Taylor, greengrocer. Witnesss’s were Henry Taylor and Nellie Taylor, possibly siblings? I am unable to find any of them on the 1901 census, I appreciate that John Brown may be serving away from home on census night, but where are the others? Being fairly common names, and no idea where they originated I’m stuck, anyone any ideas? Keith
