I've "rescued" two old photographs of Mrs. Gertrude TAYLOR and her husband (Mr. TAYLOR) which were both taken at the Paul Tralles Studio in Washington DC. I believe the photographs were probably taken in the 1880's with both appearing to be in their 30's or 40's at the time. Thanks to the help of a Washington DC Researcher we believe that these are photographs of Howard Augustus TAYLOR and Gertrude MURRAY TAYLOR of New York City. Gertrude MURRAY b. 6 Jan 1872 at Goshen, NY the daughter of Wisner MURRAY and Gertrude BERNARD. Wisner MURRAY was b. 1844 and d. 1876, he was the son of Ambrose Spencer MURRAY and Frances WISNER. Gertrude and her Mother lived with Ambrose and Frances MURRAY in Goshen, NY after Wisner died. Ambrose & Frances had 6 children including, Ellen MURRAY b. 1837, George W. MURRAY b. 1839, Wisner MURRAY b. 1844, Ambrose S. MURRAY b. 1852, Russell MURRAY b. 1854, and Francis W. MURRAY b. 1855. Gertrude BERNARD was the daughter of Chauncey BERNARD and Gertrude THWING of CT. Howard A. TAYLOR b. 23 Nov 1865 was the son of Henry Augustus TAYLOR of CT and Catherine OSBORN of NY. Howard was a lawyer as was his older brother Henry O. TAYLOR who was married to Julia ISHAM in 1905. The TAYLOR Family lived in Manhattan, NY along with their 6 children including Howard A. who was their youngest child. Howard's siblings included Ella Osborn TAYLOR b. 1848, Frank Mansfield TAYLOR b. 1850, Charles Gustavus TAYLOR b. 1853, Henry Osborn TAYLOR b. 1857, and Mary Rebecca TAYLOR b. 1865. It appears that Gertrude & Howard had three children, Geoffrey b. 1893, Eleanor b. 1894, and Murray b. 1895 and d. 1972 in Cobalt, CT. Copies of the photographs along with all the family information gathered by this researcher are posted on the internet at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bldr/georgetown2.html I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
