Hi, I'm looking for information on William & Mary Taylor, my great grandfather/grandma. I know that Williams mother is supposed to be Jane Nesbitt,Taylor,Croft. And is buried beside their grave in Poyntzpass Graveyard. On William & Mary's marriage certificate, it says that his father is Francis Taylor, but l haven't been able to find anything on Jane & Francis, I know that Jane remarried to John Croft. Any help with this would be fantastic. Regards Sue | ||

The only Taylor I remember around Poyntzpass was a Hugh Samuel Taylor who lived on the corner of William Street and the Bucks Hill .I think he died in 1949 or 50 he was in his late seventies then .Willie.I remember Jane Crofts funeral .I think it was in the early 40s | ||

Hi, Thanks for that. William & Mary lived in Acton, and Banbridge. My mum went to Mullavilly School, and Derryhale School in 1953, with her brother (Elizabeth & Ronnie Taylor). My mum says she lived at Corcrains Hill, with Grandma and Grandad. I know that Jane Croft lived briefly in Antrim, as l have her and John living in the same house as Francis Taylor & Elizabeth Woods. Francis is or could be her son, he also has A Francis Taylor down as his dad on his marriage certificate. You don't know if Jane lived anywhere else please? Sue | ||

Hi Willie, Its me again!! My mother was telling me that Jane had a shop on the corner and that the Taylors lived next door...William, Mary, Samuel(Sammy), Sarah(Sally), Edith, Annie, William(Billy), James(Jimmy) & Helen, Ronald(Ronnie) & Elizabeth(Betty). They are also related to the Ryans. I know that Betty & Ronnie went to Laurel vale School, and then they moved and went to Derryhale School. They all called Jane their Aunt. Regards Sue |
