The name and details have come from my wife's adoption file that she has just seen.
We have some information that he may have been involved with the Timothy Whites & Taylors Chemist chain.

There is an Alvin J Taylor showing on the electoral register for Leamington Spa in 2002 and 2005 in 192.com

Added: Sorry, this is probably someone born in about 1980.

Hi I am trying to find any details of Alvin John Taylor. He was born about 1919/1920, we believe in Yorkshire. It is an unusual name but I cannot find details in any searches. We believe he was living in the Aldershot area after World War II and later in Scarborough.There are many John Taylor's but not Alvin.
If anyone has any information I would be very grateful.
Many thanks

Alan
