Richard Taylor convicted of Child Neglect.

Can someone please look this up and either send me a copy of it or transcribe the script.

His 5 children are my great uncles and aunts and 3 of them were sent to canada by Barnardo's. Researching the 3 lost canadians and come across this (kindly found by another member on here) but unable to open it. This probably the reason they were adopted and sent...... I previously have them all in Fir Vale workhouse 1901.

Hi

I've emailed you a copy of the article.

Carol

Thanks Carol

Thats very interesting,,,,,, I don't suppose you can find any previous articles on him? States he was jailed a few times for neglect.

Luckily he is not my biological Great Grandfather but his wife is my biological Great Gran (This seems the last straw for her). I was always 50/50 whether she had issues too to cause this tragedy but it names her as a fine upstanding, hardworking woman which will please my father greatly.

Many thanks again

Wayne

Hi

Have emailed some more newspaper articles to you. The first one should be of interest as it gives the names and ages of the children.

Carol

That’s great Thanks Carol

I didn’t know about Annie Elizabeth and Jane......unfortunately that means they either died or were adopted early....... my father (there nephew) never heard of them either.

Will be interested to find out their fate

Regards

Hi Wayne

I have looked for a Jane Taylor as reported in the newspaper article of 1903. It stated that Jane was 4 months old in September 1903. This makes her birth April /May 1903.

I think "Jane" has wrongly been reported as Nellie.

Nellie's birth registration is
TAYLOR, NELLIE mnn THORPE
GRO Reference: 1903 J Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 525 y

I have already mentioned Nellie's baptism.

Hope this helps

Sue

Wow Sue that’s great

Thank you very much indeed.

All her 3 girls died young and 3 of her boys shipped off to Canada by Bernardos - such a tradegy.

I will endeavour to visit the said graves of my lost aunts to pay my respects

Regards

Wayne
