Hi,

I need help to trace beyond 1905 for my Father's family, the Taylors of Edinburgh. My father's name is George (no middle name) and he was born 1931 in Edinburgh, died 1981, his father was also George (but he had a middle name of Ross I think). He was born in 1905 and was in the Army in the 1920s when he met his wife, Jean Macalpine. His father was Thomas Taylor, and hs mother was Catherine McRae. Thomas was born around 1866, but I have been unable to decisively go back further than this as there are two families in Edinburgh with similarly named children in the 1861 Census. I have assumed that Thomas' father is Hugh Taylor, Born 1836 in Haddington, and his mother is Catherine Henderson born 1837. I have looked at the GRO(S) records but cannot decipher the registrar's handwriting to come to a definitive decision. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
