Thread: Finding Emily Winifred Taylor

Hi,



I was wondering if someone would be able to help me try and track a relative down. I have a gt-gt-grandma called Emily Winifred Taylor born about 1866 in Banbury, Oxfordshire. I know that at some point as a child she had to move into an orphanage. I don't know when this happened but I can find her in the 1881 census as working as a servant to a household in Richmond, Surrey but for the 1871 census when she would be about 5 or 6 I cannot seem to find her. I was wondering if anyone else could?



She had some brothers and sisters but we are unable to discover any names to help in the search, we also don't know her parents names.

I dont know if this helps but i found this:



1871- Weald, Oxfordshire.



Alfred Taylor - 32, Ag Lab.

Ann Taylor - 29, Labourer Ag.

Mary A Taylor - 6, Scholar.

Emily Taylor - 5, Scholar.

Ellen Taylor - 3.

Elizabeth - 2 months.



All born in Bampton, Oxfordshire.

Hi, and thanks for you help My Emily married Joseph James Adams in 1887 in London. I have Emily down as dying in 1949 in South East London, we thought her death would have been registered in Lewisham but I think I've found her as passing away in Bromley (now Greater London).

Hi Welshlady,



Yep we've got her tracked in the 1891 and 1901 census now as Emily Adams. The problem has always been that we know she had brothers and sisters but we know none of their names. They were broken up and most found themselves living with grandparents but there wasn't room for Emily and so she was placed in an orphanage.



I think getting the birth cert is the best idea. With regards to her death do you agree that it is likely that we find her as having died aged 82 in the 3rd quarter of 1949 in Bromley? Much appreciated.
