Hi everyone. I am new to this list. I live in South Africa and am researching my father line of Taylor. I understand that George Bowes Taylor B1798 in Chester le Street married Mary Ann Jefferson in 1845. He was previously married to Sarah Ann Garside who died after them having had 6 children. They had a son George Jefferson Taylor B1852 in Liverpool. Mary, I am told, was born Rothwell and married a Mr Jefferson, whom I do not know. But census records her as being born Jefferson, having a brother Carr Jefferson. I know that he came across to South Africa and married an Isabella Ellena Alice Turvey who was born in 1857, but records show them as married in 1862 which obviously would be impossible. I am trying to trace which year or even decade that he came across to South Africa. I can't find him in the South African records, only on a Power of Attorney to pass a bond by his son Charles Jefferson Strathmore Bowes Taylor who was 20 years old and needed to be duly assisted by his father, reflected as George Jefferson Taylor. The records that have him married in 1862 reflect him as George Taylor. Does anyone have any information for me on George Jefferson Taylor? And if possible, Mary Ann Jefferson/Rothwell? Kind regards Jackie
