Posted in TAYLOR on 01 Mar 2008 | Leave a Comment »
John Taylor, my 3x great grandfather, died in Barrow-in-Furness at the age of 68 of ‘Epistaxis exhaustion’. Epistaxis is the medical term for ‘nose bleed’!
The informant at his death was his sister-in-law Pheobe York (nee King) so it would seem that most of the King family left Kent and moved en-mass to Lancashire.

A new Turner cousin found me through a query I posted to www.curiousfox.com!
By my calculations, Nigel is my fourth cousin and he is descended from Martha Turner, Eliza Turner’s sister. According to Nigel, Martha married John Cornwall in the 1860’s in Staffordshire and they moved to Barrow-in-Furness and then Oldham in Lancashire. I wonder if [...]
