Sorry, slightly confused.
Are Arthur and William George brothers, last name Taylor?
Is their father William John Taylor, who died in 1958?
Is Rose Hilda Davis her maiden name, and what relation is she?
Thanks

Arthur and William George were brothers - I am led to believe twins.
Rose Hilda Davis was their mother my grandads wife - she died in 1923 hence both boys brought up be relatives.
I never met him - do not know if he or dad ever had much contact - dad went back to live with dad when dad remarried to lady called Annie - do not know maiden name.
There is half sister Margaret - now deceased who lived in Plymouth after marrying and lived there when she died.
William John - retired miner died of complications of coal dust on lungs in Nov 1958- ? believe he was buried with Rose Hilda but I do not know where yet.

My dad's cousin seemed to think that Dad and Arthur were twins?
But she is 90!
Maybe they were not.
Dad certainly born at Bilson Green I believe 1.4. 1923
Am confused by the C Davies in the name can you clarify as that is nto on birth certificate - but dad had 2 as was adopted by George Cann and wife Nell and they put Cann on the certificate as they apparently had not realised gradad had already registered.
I would love any info on Arthur as my mother was an only cjild so I grew up with no aunts uncles or cousins
