Can anyone who has access to worldwide records help me please?
I am looking for info on my grandads brother John Allen Taylor born c1900 probably in Spennymoor Co Durham England.
He emigrated to Sydney Australia in 1926 along with his wife who I think was Kathleen and daughter I think was Pamela about 2yrs old.
Would love to find out names of any children and what happened to him
Any info from Australia at all
With thanks Barbara
Still stuck as to any marriage for Pamela or any other children

Hi Barbara,

If John was registered as John Allen Taylor then I think this is his birth index

Births Mar 1900
Taylor John Allen
Auckland 10a 245

--------------------------------

There is a John Allen Taylor registered March 1899 but he was born in Bury


Best Wishes

Still stuck as to whether John had any children other than Pamela and who she and further children married
Can anyone find out please
Cheers Barbara

Hi Barbara

This could be John's death, as above, though father's name is incorrect, that could be an informant error. Mother's name matches.

34607/1963
TAYLOR JOHN ALLEN
[father] IRVAN HENRY A
[mother JOANAH
[district] WYONG

4 possible deaths for Kathleen so need her parents names.

Due to privacy act, you won't be able to find further chn born after 1926, unless your post is seen by a living relative. Sorry :(

Can't see marriage or death for Pamela Doreen.

Hi
The post further up has the right parents named so I can't understand that although that came off a family tre on ancestry.
His father was Joseph Irven and he had a brother Henry
Will keep trying thankyou
