I am looking for Elizabeth Heywood, born 1885 in Lancashire. This is confusing, but her name may have been Elizabeth Taylor at birth, then changed for some reason to Elizabeth Heywood. Her mother's name was Sarah Ann and her father was either Samuel Taylor or William Heywood (or maybe both, one being a step-father). She had two brothers, Richard and William. In 1901, she was living in Heywood with her Uncle David Fenton. This is my grandmother and I am trying to find her family history. She came to America in 1912, where I live.

Elizabeth HEYWOOD or TAYLOR

Were brothers Richard's and William's last names Heywood or Taylor?
In the 1871 census, David and Jane Fenton are living alone. In 1881 and 1891 censuses, the Fentons have Heywood nieces living with them: Frances Heywood, 12, and Mary Elizabeth Heywood, 16, in 1881; in 1891, Frances is still with them, aged 22, and also Jennie T. Heywood, 11 -- all at 25 Bury Old Road, Heap, Lancashire. See below:
Name / Age / Birthplace / Relationship / Occupation
Fenton, David 55 Heywood, Lancashire Head Accountant
Fenton, Jane 51 Altrincham, Cheshire Wife
Heywood, Francis [sic] 22 ashton upon mersey, Cheshire Niece Cotton Weaver

Do you know how Frances, Mary Elizabeth and Jennie T. Heywood are related to your Elizabeth?
If you have any more information, it may assist some of us in helping you...

Sarah Ann Heywood and Thomas William Taylor
Sarah Ann Heywood was my great grandmother and was born in 1853 in Altrinchim,Cheshire. She died in 1885 in the same place. During her life, she had 6 children with Thomas William Taylor. I have been unable to find a marriage certificate for them and have little or no information for him. I found all birth certificates for the children and he is listed as the father for all of them. He does not appear in their lives after the mother died. According to the birth certificates, Sarah Ann and the children moved between Cheshire and Lancanshire. I would so appreciate if anyone could help find Thomas William Taylor.

Born 4 Jun 1879, bap 12 Jun 1879, Jennie, dau. of Thomas William and Sarah Ann Taylor, abode Castle Northwich

Solemnized in "Great Budworth, London Road Wesleyan Methodist Chapel".
What's odd/unusual is that the register does not cater for "Father's occupation/profession" - very useful when checking a Census. From the various birth certs. you have collected can you advise of Thomas' occpn/profession?"dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

Interesting that it's Taylor on the Census and birth certs but Heywood at death.

Re #7 above, I wondered if occupations might include "(1) Commercial traveller (2) Printer (3) Bookbinder"?

Having read a lengthy article in the Cheshire Observer, 17 July 1875, about a 23 year old Thomas William Taylor, Cheadle Bulkeley, accused of perjury (aquitted), I found on the Census
1871 (ref RG10 3663 5 4)

Address Castle Street, Cheadle Bulkeley, Stockport

Thomas William Taylor, son, MARRIED, Commercial traveller, born Hazel Grove, Cheshire
Although classed "Married", there is no Mrs Taylor in the household (his mother apart)."dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"
