  Notes	Logic for this marr to Margaret Clark is as follows:- 1. There is only one Leonard Taylor born abt 1868 in 1871 or 1881 census, and he is living with parents George and Margaret. George and Margaret Taylor for censuses of 1861 and 1871 are at 36 Bacon St, ie the address where Leonard Taylor is born in 1868. 2. Therefore Margaret's maiden name is Clark. 3. Margaret first appears on the scene for the 1851 Census. 4. The only marriage between George Taylor and Margaret Clark is in 1850 as here

• Notes

  Check if birth cert gives his middle name, but the baptismal records do, so this is included here. He was living at 89, Faraday Road, Wimbledon when he went into hospital. He left his estate to Dorothy Maud TAYLOR, (birth name not obvious as no marriage details obvious). The electoral roll for 1945 has somebody of his name in South Ruislip.
