davidbohl Posted 29 July , 2018 Share Posted 29 July , 2018 (edited) I have a Henry/Harry Taylor HALEWOOD b.1891 Liverpool but I've spent a while trying to find military service for him using his middle name Taylor, none forthcoming. The remaining don't look promising, any more clues please ?

Mark1959 Posted 29 July , 2018 Share Posted 29 July , 2018 (edited) Cheshire Regiment 2299 killed 1915. LNLR man KIA 1914. We know the Lancers chap died 1917 Looks like your man died 3Q 1964 (born 9/1/1891) so I think those 3 are definitely excluded; especially if the newspaper does not say "the late". His son is Donald. HTH married Laura Lindley in 1920 and Donald was born 1922 Reg 2Q Toxteth Park. So no clue there. Nor in the electoral register 1920 that has him at home with mother and brothers. He and other 2 all have middle name Taylor. M2/148355 has a middle name of Orel and came from Cardiff - so not him Edited 29 July , 2018 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 31 July , 2018 Share Posted 31 July , 2018 The 2 RN H Halewoods. One is Herbert. The other seems unlikely. First ship: a fireman on board a captured German freighter. He has a trio of medals. Just does not seem to square with a teaching background. So view - unlikely but not impossible. Struggling to find owt on the KRRC/RAMC man.
