Author: anniecrenshaw Surnames: TAYLOR Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.tyr.general/6668.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Your family obviously has a treasure of much original information such as the family bible, newspaper clippings, and other documents. You might post your basic query on the GenForum boards for County Tyrone and New Zealand, as well as the Taylor surname. Posting the bible entries on the TAYLOR boards (RootsWeb and GenForum) would share a very helpful resource for other researchers. Your ancestor Sarah Jane ______ apparently married James Taylor before 1866 (the first birth of children you mentioned) and probably much earlier if George, a "last surviving son" of 8 boys, died in 1873. Also, this family emigrated to New Zealand before 1866, and if they emigrated much earlier, say in 1840s-1850s, all their children may have been born in New Zealand rather than in Ireland. Irish civil registrations show that a "James Taylor" married "Sarah Anderson" at Moy Church of Ireland, Dungannon district, Co. Tyrone, in 1855. This might possibly be your ancestor "Sarah Jane." You didn't give a birth year for her, but if she was bearing children until at least 1872, and had had 10 children by 1873, she would be born no earlier than about 1825. Lissan parish Church of Ireland registers begin in 1753, so any records that might include your families there -- Taylor and/or others -- would have very early documentation. Lissan parish is famous for the STAPLES family and their historic home, "Lissan House." The "Cookstown" entry in Wikipedia will tell you all about Derryloran parish (adjacent to Lissan), and its towns, churches and cemeteries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookstown,_County_Tyrone Good luck with your search.

Author: rrrocket Surnames: Taylor, Checkley, Cotton Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.tyr.general/6668.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thank you for responding so quickly! I do have some additional information that I discovered yesterday while visiting with relatives: Sarah Jane Taylor had 3 surviving children: Margaret M. Taylor (born 1866, New Zealand, died 1961?) Robertina Gordon Abigail Taylor (born 3 Apr 1872,New Zealand - died 15-Dec-1939 Portland, OR) George Cotton Taylor (bd? bp? - died 15 Feb 1873 according to NZ newspaper article) The Lawrence,New Zealand newspaper on 17 Feb 1873 also mentions that the tragedy of George's death was compounded by the fact that his mother, Mrs.S.J.Taylor (well known in Mornington, NZ) and youngest sister (my ggm) were in Ireland visiting aged parents and that George was the last surviving son of eight sons. This is all new information to me, but it makes a stronger case for connections of family between Ireland and New Zealand. Margaret M. Taylor was married twice: first to James Zakarias Smyth in 1889, NZ and later to Hermann Alexander Richter in Battle Ground, WA USA (accross river from Portland, OR). My grandmother, Robertina G.A. Taylor was married twice also: first to my grandfather, Charles Bertwell Checkley in 1895,Porland, OR and later to Thomas Henry Crosby, Portland, OR). The family bible indicates that Robertina's mother (Sarah Jane Taylor) was buried in Lissan church, Tyrone, Ireland). Any help you can give to point me in the right direction would be very helpful!
