Hello, I am Karen and I reside in South Carolina. I am new to this list. I believe my Great great Grandmother took a child that did not belong to her and I was wondering if there is a way that this can be proven. 1. Family bible claims date of birth of my Great grand father to be August 22 1859 in Wigan, Lanchashire. Went to BMD to order birth certificate, nope! 2. Ordered his parents : Robert Hodson and Emma Green. She is from St. Nick', Warwick. 3. Gathered census in Warwick. Found her with a child : Richard Taylor (to nurse). I only assume he is Ill. 4. Emma marries soon after in Lancashire soon after. I will be ordering the birth certificate of "Richard Henry Taylor" quite soon. I have discovered he had a twin named Ann, 1.

Karen I think you have got your Taylors mixed up. Richard Taylor (son of Richard & Ann) baptised 22 aug 1859 is enumerated at home with his parents in Birmingham in the 1861 census. The Richard H Taylor with the Green family in Long Itchington was born in Coventry not Birmingham. Are you sure that as Robert & Emma were not married until after the birth of their son that the birth was not registered under her maiden name? There is a richard Henry Green born in September 1859 at Wigan GRO ref 8c 42 who I would think is the person you are looking for Peter R Thompson Bedworth Warwickshire UK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Barnes" <scpatriot@bellsouth.net> To: <WARWICK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 7:55 PM Subject: [WAR] Taylor's in Saint Martin, Birmingham > Hello, > I am Karen and I reside in South Carolina. > I am new to this list. > I believe my Great great Grandmother took a child that did not belong to > her and I was wondering if there is a way that this can > be proven. > > 1.
