Is anyone able to pinpoint a birth entry for a Walter william Taylor born c1897 Clapton, East London. The marriage entry states walter william but the entry on 1901 census states william taylor

All bmd's are free on Ancestry..........the following is the birth index address (omit brackets) http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8964 Reg

thanks reg, i'm using ancestry, free bmd and igi at moment but cannot seen to find a birth entry in clapton for either variation of the name

Richard I dont know which district would cover Clapton.. Births Sep 1896 Taylor Walter William W. Ham 4a 43 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Mar 1898 TAYLOR Walter William St. Saviour 1d 135 TAYLOR Walter William Bethnal G. 1c 195 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1898 Taylor Walter William Hackney 1b 534 Georgina.

sorry i've put the date wrong it should be c1869. Apologies i'm having a bad day

Which version of the name appears on 1871, 1881, 1891? And does his birthplace remain constant on all of them? Reg

This one any good... Births Mar 1867 TAYLOR Walter William Camberwell 1d 590 Georgina.

You are probably only using the extracts from freebmd on Ancestry...the address I posted has the FULL records. Reg

Thanks georgina Reg - I haven't been able to find either name variants on any other census with the birth area of Clapton. The only one I can pinpoint him on is the 1901 as he was married by then.

Richard is this the family in 1901? Henry Taylor abt 1897 Clapham, Surrey, England Son Sunbury Middlesex Lilian Taylor abt 1895 Clapham, Surrey, England Daughter Sunbury Middlesex Robert Taylor abt 1899 Clapham, Surrey, England Son Sunbury Middlesex Rosetta Taylor abt 1869 Clapham, Surrey, England Wife Sunbury Middlesex Thomas Taylor abt 1898 Clapham, Surrey, England Son Sunbury Middlesex William Taylor abt 1869 Clapham, Surrey, England Head Sunbury Middlesex William L Taylor abt 1894 Clapham, Surrey, England Son Sunbury Middlesex Georgina.

Sorry georgina i dont think its him as he is on the 1901 census living in Ware, Herts with his wife Edith - no children

Richard this one on the 1901 census is William A Taylor? Edith A Taylor abt 1872 Salisbury, Wiltshire, England Wife Ware Hertfordshire William A Taylor abt 1869 Clapton, London, England Head Ware Hertfordshire Georgina.

I take it this is the marriage.. Marriages Sep 1897 ANDRESS Edith Annie Hackney 1b 1105 Edwards Rose Hackney 1b 1105 MILES Edmund Ernest Hackney 1b 1105 Taylor Walter William Hackney 1b 1105 Georgina.

georgina That is the marriage of my great grandparents, i've traced back to the 1700s on ediths side but the taylors are so hard as there is so many of them.

Is it Clapton or Clapham? They're both in London, but in different areas!

Richard I just looked at the image for the 1901 census and it actually says William W not William A Taylor. I will see if I can find him in earlier census's. Georgina.

As far as i can tell it is definitely clapton. Thanks for all your help georgina

If it's Clapton, then the registration district would be West Ham... assuming that his birth was registered where he thought he was born!

Richard I think this is William in 1891 living with his brother.. George A Taylor abt 1885 Clapton, Middlesex, England Son Hackney London Jane Taylor abt 1862 Waltham, Essex, England Wife Hackney London John Taylor abt 1861 Clapton, Middlesex, England Head Hackney London John W Taylor abt 1883 Clapton, Middlesex, England Son Hackney London William W Taylor abt 1871 Stepney, Middlesex, England Brother Hackney London Source information: RG12/183 Registration district: Hackney Sub registration district: Stamford Hill ED, institution, or vessel: 11 Folio: 148 Page: 7 (click to see others on page) GSU Number: 6095293 On this census William's occupation is Drug Compounder and on the 1901 census he makes capsules for drugs. Do you have the marriage certificate? If you do what address did they marry from. Georgina.

As the census only says about 1869 i've search surrounding years, the closest match i can come up with is - Walter William Taylor dec 1870 St Georges Hanover Square.
