John Taylor on 1861 census is age 3yrs approx, living with mother Elizabeth Taylor, Father, Edward Taylor, Brother Henry. I cannot for the life of me find John in 1871, he would be about 13yrs. Found the rest of the family, but John not there? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Catherine

Could you tell us either the ref details for the census or where they were living?? Merry

Might he have died? Merry

Hi Merry Don't have a ref no. living at 56 William St, New Cross, Manchester. thought he may of died, how will I find that out? Looked on family search, but nothing. thanks cath

Could this be John Death March 1867 Taylor John 10 Manchester 8d 124 Unfortunally with a name like taylor there are loads of death covering from 1861 - 1871 the age is about right which is why i picked this one out. To search for ref for births, marriages and deaths have a look on free bmd web site http://freebmd*rootsweb*com/cgi/search.pl Replace * with a dot julie
