Hi all, hoping for some help. I am trying albeit in vain to locate details of one ACTON TAYLOR. My interest is John Taylor born Manchester about 1826. He was married in Liverpool first to Ellen Wildgoose 1845 who died 1849 and then to Elizabeth Rawlinson in 1858. On both marriage certs it lists his father as Acton Taylor occupation Turner and neither show deceased. I did locate a marriage Nov 17 1816 St Mary Manchester Lancs of Acton Taylor and Maria Green with no other details. Neither of these folks can be found on 1841 census or anywhere else except that marriage. John Taylor 1826 was a Master Mariner and I did find a John Taylor age 15 Mariner on the 1841 Liverpool St Thomas census. I have all details from there forward but would love to find more about Acton which I thought a rather uncommon name compared to John lol but not so lucky. If anyone has any other ideas they would be welcome. Thanks Jackie

I've been caught out by this in the past... the fact that someone is NOT described as "deceased" doesn't necessarily mean that he is alive. Sometimes marriage certificates mention that a father is deceased... sometimes they don't. If the marriage certificate says "deceased" there is a good chance that he is... but if it doesn't then he may or may not be.
