Some Updates

Hi all *waves*

School holidays have kinda taken over at the moment althought I do have some great new info on the Taylors!!

Between me and Mel we have found the elusive Florrie and managed to find out she was the daughter of George Taylor, who was the son of Jonathan Taylor and Hannah Black. She went to live with Jonathan and Hannah at some point before the 1901 census and helped to look after the children of Frederick Taylor and Elizabeth Ellen Bell after Elizabeth died and Frederick remarried, the children from his first marriage went to live with their grandparents. Elizabeth died in 1906 in childbirth with her fourth child and Jonathan died four years later in 1910. Hannah ran a theatrical boarding house and Florence, or Florrie as she was known, helped run this and look after the kids as Hannah went both blind and deaf. Big thanks to Mel without whom I'd not know half of this!
