Hi Howard, I have only started on this line but it makes interesting reading. The only thing I will say is that the girls gave their children middle names. From the CRE's for some of them (who survived) it relates to the father of the child. (Ill - Illegitimate). James Taylor ma. Elizabeth Bowie s. George Taylor b. 1837 ma.

Did eventually marry the father of her last child. I do have the details of Charlotte and Margaret's children born between 1914 and 1930. This was only the first pass.
