If Charles Taylor married Elizabeth Green in 1928 I would have expected him to have been born before 1913 as you say.

Is it possible that he was born in 1906 which would make him 21/22 when he married which would seem more likely. If so then there is this birth:-

First name(s) CHARLES WILLIAM
Last name TAYLOR
Birth year 1906
Birth quarter 4
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District LEICESTER
County Leicestershire
Country England
Volume 7A
Page 188

Do you have Charles and Elizabeth's marriage certificate? If so who does Charles name as his father?

I think it is much more likely that the Charles Taylor born 1913 (no middle name) was this one:-

First name(s) CHARLES
Last name TAYLOR
Birth year 1913
Birth quarter 3
Registration month -
Mother's last name CHAPMAN
District LEICESTER
County Leicestershire
Country England
Volume 7A
Page 440

Given his mother's maiden name I think it likely that he married a cousin and this would be a good bet as the timing is more likely for his marriage:-

First name(s) CHARLES
Last name TAYLOR
Marriage quarter 4
Marriage year 1934
Registration month -
MarriageFinderâ„¢ CHARLES TAYLOR married
EVELYN B CHAPMAN
Spouse's last name CHAPMAN
District BLABY
District number -
County Leicestershire
Country England
Volume 7A

I think you need the marriage certificate for Elizabeth Green and Charles W. Taylor to see who Charles's father is.

This is the Charles born 1913 who married Evelyn, birthdate matches that 1991 death.

I note that Charles and Evelyn ( 1939 reg) are next door to Chapman couple, possibly Evelyn's parents?

Edit oops I missed that Kathleen had already added this birth :-)

Births Dec 1906 (>99%)
Taylor Charles William Leicester 7a 188


Possible

Edit on the other hand there is a possible death for this Charles as a child...so marriage cert for Charles to Elizabeth really needed .

Yes Rose, I think this Charles W. Taylor born 1906 is much more likely to be the Charles who married Elizabeth Green and that these are the parents of John A. Taylor born 1933.

Perhaps Emma has mixed up these two Charles Taylors.

Charles and Elizabeth Green's marriage certificate should clarify whether or not Charles gives his father's name as Charles William.

Hi sorry I do know Charles taylors father is albert harry start taylor. I have a picture of Charles marring and his birth is definatly 1913 his mother maiden name is chapman. I a newspaper article that refers to his wife as being called Betty, but that could be short for Elizabeth?

Too many threads on the same family is confusing

Emma, the Charles born to Chapman and H S Taylor in 1913 cannot be the Charles who married in 1928, to Elizabeth Green, he would be 15!

Have you considered that Evelyn B Chapman might have had the middle name Betty, or Elizabeth,

It is much better to stick to one thread per family, then people can see ages and details rather than trying to find everything from scratch.

Don't copy the link in to another new thread Emma, just return to THIS thread and add, it will bring it to the top of the page and anyone already helping you will notice.( they will have it on their watch list probably)

If you do ask a question on the end of a thread and it goes unanswered ( rare) then just edit the title to include 'Still looking!' or 'Update' .

Can I ask who exactly you are looking for information on? Is it The parents of John A. Taylor born 1933 (in which case it is NOT the Charles born 1913 but probably the Charles W. Taylor born 1906.

Or is it the Charles Taylor who was born in 1913 and died in 1991?
