Hi everyone, I am trying to locate a Helena Taylor and also her siblings in my family tree. Any help anyone can give would be great.
Ok, il start with what ive managed to discover so far...
Helena was born 1890, Wheelton, Lancashire to Rebecca Taylor (mn snailham b1864 d1929) and John Taylor (b1861).
Her siblings were -
Nancy (b 1884)
Minietta Elizabeth (b1885)
Thomas (my gt grandfather) (b1886-d1946)
Dinah (b1889)
The last census i have found her in is the 1891 census, still living in Wheelton.
Whilst researching her mother i came across a passenger list from liverpool to halifax canada listing all the family listed apart from John. (14 Sept 1901)
Also came across more passenger lists coming back and forth between liverpool and canada listing Rebecca Taylor and Helena... none of the other siblings.
Its as if the other siblings disappeared which is quite strange especially as Dinah the youngest of all siblings was still an infant and never traveled back with sister and mother.
Cant work out for sure if Helena went back to canada and stayed, as i know her mother definately came back and passed away in 1929 Ingol, Preston. In Rebeccas will, Helena and Thomas are the benefacts. Also it states Helena is still unmarried. Which in theory should make finding her easier as she still has maiden name...?
Any help in finding whether she stayed in Canada or did indeed come back like her brother thomas and mother to the uk would be really appreciated. Also any insight into what happened to her other sisters.
Apologies to go on abit of a tangent, always better to give too much info than too little...but if i have missed any info out that someone thinks could help please just ask.
