Find Ancestors

I am trying to track down all relevent info on my grandmothers sister, who sent her life in the Three counties Hospital in Stotfold Beds, which was an asylum. She apparently died there. Her surname was Taylor, her father was George Taylor & mother was Jessie Braggins and the family lived in Standon, Herts. Her youngest sister was born 1894 and her eldest brother born 1913.
We dont even know her name, how old she was when she was admitted , what she was admitted for or how old she was when she died.
Im new to this and am asking if anyone can tell me how i can find out this sort of info?

Could this be them in 1911 census

Yes, this is them, but I have these all recorded. its a missing name im looking for, if she didnt live at home with the family would she appear on a different address on the census?

Sorry Clitheroelass..Jo's exhausted and had to go to bed...ha ha these
newbies!!! no stamina!

Thankyou so much for the info you have given her we're not sure how to find this missing lady...? as we haven't even got a name...

It is hard with no name and Taylor is hard work, too many (im One).i have,looked on 1911 census but nothing catches the eye and too many births to check through.
needle in a haystack comes to mind with no actual name. I could put all the births but it would be hard work to cross reference.

Regards
Tracy



i would try the link below its a website for the Three counties Asylum you might be able to find some way of tracing this Lady

http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/NewslettersandArticles/RecordsofFairfieldHospital.aspx

Do you have the birth cert for any of them giving an address?

You could then go through the parish records for all the baptisms.
EDIT
I've counted 9 on here, so you're only missing 3.

Ha Ha yep i'm a Taylor too!! and i changed my name by deed poll to it!!

i think she will have to have a dig around the family asking questions etc...

thankyou again..

gill

All been ordered Janice,,and she lives just 5 minutes from the Hertford record office..so you're right thats the way to go!

thankyou

Gill

So sorry Tracey just saw the link for the asylum...will make sure she checks it out in the morning..thankyou.

I'M UNABLE TO CLOSE THIS THREAD
JO'S GONE TO BED(I can hear her snoring...joke :))But thankyou both for your help..

Can't find Jessie May in BMD, but with Reginald C in 1913 this makes 10.

I put them on a timeline and there's a clear gap in 1902 which could be where one of your missing ones would fit. There are 8 Taylor births in Ware in 1902, and 3 of them are girls: Alice, Cordelia and Elsie. One of these could be your missing sister.

Janice bless you...crikey i started sister in law off on the family tree just two weeks ago...she's hooked but exhausted...lol

I 'll make sure i get her over the records office tomorrow!

Thankyou so much..it's a start

gill

Tomorrow? Fantastic!!!
Let us know how you get on :-)

She'll be so excited when she wakes up....brilliant.

well lets say this thread is closed for now...

Thankyou so much

nighty night
