    Notes 
    • Logic for this marr to Margaret Clark is as follows:-

      1. There is only one Leonard Taylor born abt 1868 in 1871 or 1881 census, and he is living with parents George and Margaret. George and Margaret Taylor for censuses of 1861 and 1871 are at 36 Bacon St, ie the address where Leonard Taylor is born in 1868.
      2. Therefore Margaret's maiden name is Clark.
      3. Margaret first appears on the scene for the 1851 Census.
      4. The only marriage between George Taylor and Margaret Clark is in 1850 as here

  • Notes 
    • Poss birth 7/12/1812 Bapt 27/12/1812 or
      birth 2/2/1812, bapt 16/2/1812.

      Best found so far is son of John and Elizabeth, born 18/6/1811 bapt St James Islington 21/4/1812. Given the lack of obvious George Charles's and the match with the father, this is taken to be the right record, though TAYLOR is clearly a common name, and in addition the fact that he appears to have been born in the workhouse would mean that John was not doing well. This does match some information which suggests that watchmaking, at least in London was less busy.

      At the marriage in 1842, he is living in Pear Tree Court, which matches the baptism records of his children. At the 1850 marriage, he is living at 2, Church Row, Bethnal Green.

      Although I can find no record of an earlier marriage, I still wonder if there was one and that James, Sarah and Mary were born to a different "Sarah Ann"

      The reference to capenter at Elizabeth's marriage is potentially significant as this would mean that this individual, with all the associated family information is not the George who is Elizabeth's father. However I can find no George TAYLOR who describes himself as a carpenter, or anything similar with a daughter named Elizabeth born 1841-1848 in the 1851 Census. There are of course other possibilities, including those where Elizabeth is somewhere else at the census and mistakes in the census, but on balance I think the occupation description at Elizabeth's marriage is wrong and this is the right person to be Elizabeth's father.
