Hi Derek From a Bristol and Somerst posting last year, I found Pat Dorgan in St Helier Jersey CI is compling a database of Bristol Taylors - may include your family too. It could be worth asking her. Pat is at : dale@itl.net Good hunting, Lee Perth, Oz -----Original Message----- From: olfogey46 [mailto:olfogey46@cwgsy.net] Sent: Saturday, 27 August 2005 3:13 AM To: ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: TAYLORS IN U/K snip >>> before 1800 the Taylor name was almost unheard of in the c.i. . around 1820-1830 there was a massive influx to jersey and guernsey of Taylor families and as they settled in the islands added more children to their 2-4 offspring . this is my brick wall and i wondered if anyone researching taylors might have some that came to channel islands thankyou derek <<<<
