    3. Hi Listers A new celebration for us tomorrow, when little Joseph Watson TAYLOR my grandson is Christened at St John's Church, Ingrow. We now want to start and find something out about his ancestors. You will note the middle name of Watson is usually present in the first born son...............not sure when this started. Would be easier if the Watson was included in the census details, but in mose cases, can only find first names. Starting with the only details we have at the moment....and the oldest. Joseph Watson TAYLOR b about 1868 was in the Cameron Islanders and lived in Arnold Street, Bradford....we have no further details they had two children that we know of....these were Luke TAYLOR & Joseph Watson TAYLOR b about 1892 in Bradford, was also in the Cameron Islanders and won the Criox du Guerre, died about 1950 - Joseph married Eliza FIRTH they had three sons Albert TAYLOR John TAYLOR & Joseph Watson TAYLOR born 16.6.1916 (Joseph was in the RAF) married in 1941 Sarah Smith born 6.9.1916 Sarah SMITH was the daughter on Joe SMITH & Harriett BEBB (from Wickham) (also lived in Norwich) she had the following siblings William SMITH, Peter SMITH, Mary SMITH, Emma SMITH, Annie SMITH, Florence SMITH. Joseph & Sarah had three children Derek Watson TAYLOR, Diane TAYLOR & Lyndsay William TAYLOR We are following Derek Watson TAYLOR who married Patricia WILSON and had three children Mark Watson TAYLOR, Alison TAYLOR & Sarah TAYLOR.
