In Response To: Re: John Taggart ()

Valerie a suggestion re baptisms. As Anne Jane's
is easy to find at St Mark's chapel , Malew I
presume all the other childrens' are but I can't find
your special boy. If there is truth in the tale about
him this might fit. Such children were sometimes not baptised for fear of what Church would say about it. His age could have been increased on
census to avoid complications of him looking like a twinof next younger child. I have a later case
registered OK but brought up as a child not grandchild.
