He ripped all the information out of the family bible and destroyed all photos(don't know why) born in Hucknall Torkard. he married florence (don't know her second name) he had three sons, harold, sydney and george. that's about all i know, cheers lslowry

thank you so much ,dothawkes your a star. i never knew the names of my great grandparents and didn't realise my granddad had 4 siblings. george was a blacksmith at crown farm colliery until retiring at (i think75). he lived on richmond street mansfield (no10). i was going to subscribe to the ancestry website, but after getting a negative response on a initial enquiry it put me off, as you say there is a lot of Taylors. what would you say the best site was for these enquiries? can i take a short term subscription? the information you have given would be great starting point.
on the bdm site, there's a george william taylor, born in Basford (which covers hucknall tokard) between the months of oct-dec 1882
the record details (if you want to buy a copy of the birth cert) is:
area - Basford Quarter 4 Volume 7B page 205
there's another one born in the same town in sep 1883 though, so are you sure about that year ? actually, there's a few GWT's within a 5 year span.
i did a search for GWT's marrying a woman named Florence in Basford, 1900-1950 and only 1 name came up (doesn't make it 100% though, so be careful, never assume). Her full name is Florence Bainbridge, and they married between Jul-Sep 1907 in basford. record details are Basford Q3 Vol 7B Page 333

found Florence B's birth - in Basford again, Apr-Jun 1885 Quarter 2 Vol 7B Page 220
GWT's Death record - if you have the right date of 1979 - is: Mansfield Qtr 2 Vol 8 Page 0202
I've saved a copy of the records - only the alphabetical index, not the ACTUAL record if you would like one e-mailed.
I'd suggest using the BDM free site to have a hunt around, it's very good.
If you order a copy of one of the birth/marr/death certs (do it via the official govt records office site and they are £7 each) you'll find parents details, address, occupations. For £7 you'd get a fair bit of info...I'd order one at a time though, and see what info you get.
Hope that helps

If you don;t want to use your local library, and would also not want to pay 80 odd quid for a years subscription to ancestry.co.uk, you can pay £10.95 a month for unlimited use, it's alot better than the very very expensive pay as you go, especially if you are going to be using the GRO BMD index searches. Your local library will allow you top use their internet computers for free, but I realise there may be reasons why people cannot get to use the service, one of which could be that the library puts a time restricyion on when they are busy. So the £10.95 a month is the next best option as they will allow you to not renew it at any time if you are not going to use it, which is what i do as i am often too busy to make use of it.
