Dear Heather
There is no index for 1871, but there are digital images on CD which are
available from Carmarthenshrie FHS if you wish to browse through the census
returns as your own leisure.....
I have had a look at 1851 Carmarthen Town and there are only 2 Taylor's
mentioned.....
Harriet A Taylor a 42 year old niece from Bath Somerset living with her aunt
Mary Harris 68 a landed proprietor
John Taylor 25 Private 77 foot born Wymondham Nfk, living in the
barracks....
these were the only 2 listed in Carmarthen Town, I have not looked in other
parishes....
regards Pauline

Dear Listers
I am new to the list and to research in Wales and wonder if anyone can
help
me with my husband's family.
His gggrandfather Elworthy George TAYLOR (he seems to have used both
christian names at various times) was born in Bridgewater in1826. He
married
Emma
PRITCHARD in Monmouth in about 1846. The first child Macey Francis was
born
there in December 1846.
Macey Francis was married as TAYELOR to Jane Alice WADE (b. Yorks) in the
December quarter of 1867 in Carmarthenshire. I have ordered the
certificate,
but have not received it yet. A son, Alfred Robert, was born in
Carmarthen
in 1868/9.
Later children were born in Middlesex, but I think that they were probably
in Carmarthen in 1871. I wonder if there is an index available and
accessible. If so, may I please request a look-up? By 1881 Macey Francis
was
a mercantile clerk.
Family lore relates that the name Taylor was changed by an uncle who
worked
as a lawyer? in Carmarthen and was tired of being muddled with all
the
Taylors there, so suggested that they all join him in adding the E. I do
realise that such stories are not to be depended upon, but there might be
a
grain of truth in there somewhere.
Other first names used, which were apparently surnames were MACY and
HOWELL.
If any of this rings any bells, I should be very pleased to hear about it.
Thanks and regards
Heather Tayelor
