Shirley, and Patchem and Jax
Many thanks for all the above.

My husband never knew about most of his family, being the youngest child,(born 1933) so he never met Cornelius, grandfather. On her marriage cert. May never put that her father was deceased.

I can confirm that at the time of her marriage - May was living at 7 Pearcroft Rd, E17, with a Henry and Annie Taylor. And to make things more confusing in 1910 another Taylor, Herbert, resided at May Cottage, 7 Pearcroft Rd, but with no connection as far as I can see.

GR Anthony Adolphe told me he thought Cornelius Taylor could have come over from Ireland with a name like that.
I have tried this line too.

All the other Cornelius' in Census 1901 and 1911, I have gone through.

I think the only person who may know the answer is Harold's son, Ian.

I thank you all for your kind help and work, but feel I mustn't take up any more of your time. Believe me if I do solve the mystery, I will be in touch.
Kind regards
Ruth

Why Ireland? Cornelius isn't an Irish name....that's of course if it was her fathers name? and not one she made up

Where is her birth registration as it wasn't May Rosina Taylor unless she wasn't born in this country?

If Henry and Annie Taylor were her aunt and uncle they are not Irish if the correct 1911 census has been posted.

Have you considered applying for their marriage certificate for information on his Father, to check further back?
