there are so many margaret taylors arnt there.
her mums maiden name maybe o'donnell or donnell. but father def james taylor shes put that on her marriage cert

I've been following your search for this family Denise, don't really want to make things more difficult but as it's such a common name it's a problem because she could have been born anywhere.

I know that she married in 1918 in Prestwich, Manchester but that doesn't mean she was born in the area all that time before.

Christine

For every Margaret there are 2 James'

Do you know where her parents were married
OR where the eldest child was born?

Julie well done, noticed it too if you look the ages of mary a also add up to the above.
Im wondering if she was visiting her parents.
and hopefully making mary a taylors maiden name o'donnell or donnell.
but cant find a marriage for a james taylor and a mary a donnell or o'donnell.
certainly in 1918 when margaret taylor married james taylor is given as deceased, thanks

julie are they all o'donnell or just donnell do you know

Found a marriage for Mary Ann O Donnell and Joseph Taylor in 1876 !! in Salford !
Be easy if we could just change his name !

julie maybe he was james joseph

and looking at it with new eyes now, margaret was a baby when her dad died, this james could be step father couldnt he.

mum could have told her anything about who her dad was and what he did

As you know on the census records they put the surname for the "Head" person .
In this case that was Thomas
It was written Thomas O Donnell and 'do' for those following him.
Who ever transcribed the census has put Thomas as "Thomaso" ! Conecting the 'O' to his name. On the original it is 'O' and seperate

its amazing margaret taylor had a daughter who married an o'donnell and its her were searching for
