Re: Looking for George Taylor, brewer

Many thanks Helen, it looks like George is a brother of Mary.

Re: Looking for George Taylor, brewer

Thank you Moira. Found this census now although there is clearly something wrong with David's age. Buried in the same grave as George Taylor is William Henry Cowlishaw son of Henry Cowlishaw and Mary Taylor. Also just found Henry's probate record in Hartford, Connecticut, confirms their date of marriage and their surviving children.

Re: Looking for George Taylor, brewer

In 1871, David Taylor age 40, is shown as brother in law to head of household, Mary Taylor age 54, and her children Ellen M., William J., and Ann Elizabeth. Therefore he is more likely to be George Taylor's brother than son. Mistakes were made when censuses were taken. I know I have at least one case of a younger brother being declared a son on one census.

Thank you Helen. In the 1841 census there are just two children - as expected, Ellen and John.
