Val, there are thirty plus John Taggart's with various birth years plus most served on the ill fated "Ellan Vannin" which sank in the Mersey on 3 December 1909 with the loss of fifteen passengers and twenty one crew. As your relative died in 1910 he was listed as having served on the "Ellan Vannin" at an earlier date, it stated his list of ships served started in 1893 . His home parish of birth was Kirk Malew, is this correct with your records ?
