Hi there can any one help me I am trying to find my great great grandparents of Fanny Taylor. I do not have her maiden name so have hit a brick wall. I do know that she came from the Forest of Dean and she was probably a toll keeper. My great grandmother Fanny was born in West Bromwich round about 1859. She married Samuel Taylor born about 1855. They had 7 children including Fanny my great grandmother . Thank you Jo

1881 samuel and fanny had mary born J/F/M 1877 so the marriage fro Samuel and Fanny Grinath could be right that was 1876 O.N/D.
There was a Fanny Grinnoth born 1858 Westbury on seven gloucetershire.
Fanny Graynoth 1859 Birmingham wolverhampton.
As yet i can't find either of them on 1861/71 census records.

Maryb
P.s Also with them in 1881 were thomas 1879 and sarah 1880

Fanny Grinnoth 1858
Milsom harris Grinnoth 1858 could be twins
Rhoda Grinnoth.1861 all Westbury on severn Glouchetershire/Little dean area.

No sign after that of that name.
On 1861 it has Grinday,1871 Grindon but no Fanny, Milsom or Rhoda.

Milsom Grindle married Clara Warren in 1891 and Milsom Grindell then marries Elizabeth Jane Lewis
There are lots of Grindle's in westbury on Severn so i think that Grinnoth was Grindle.

Maryb

There is some one on here with Clara Warren from westbury on seven,maybe you should contact her.
