To Mike (in Toronto: Hi Mike, long time no see/speak) and Robyn (also, I think): I have followed the family of James Bradshaw and John Taylor forward and he does not appear, nor do any other 'Taylors' appear with the Bradshaw family. The reason I 'chose' the particular 1841 Taylor family is that they were living in the same area in fairly close proximity with the same mills. [As did the later father Edward Ogden, who had a silver spoon in his mouth] Naturally I have followed both families forward (and backwards). Other than the natural seeming close proximity John Taylor of 1841 there are enumerable possibilities [*****] Thanks.
