X00384 William Charles Taylor after 1881 - Solved!

William Charles Taylor is my second great grand uncle and is the third child and first son of James Taylor and Alice Ann Rothwell. He was born 15 September 1870 in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. I had found him in census records with the family up until the 1881 census, but then it was difficult to find him in records after that.

Ancestry had some in some census records with a wife named Eliza, but there were a number of marriages between a William Taylor and an Elizabeth. I did take a chance and requested the Marriage record that seemed to be the most likely candidate:

The name and age matches with the William Charles Taylor in my tree, but the biggest confirmation was the fact that his father is named James Taylor and his profession was a blacksmith's striker, which completely matches, so this is definitely the right person. And with that I"m able to confirm a whole lot of other records and put together the details for William Charles Taylor

There is, however another interesting mystery. I found William Charles Taylor in the 1891 census living with a William and Elizabeth Brown:

The relationship with the head of the household is nephew, so it would seem that either William Brown or his wife Elizabeth are relatives. I have not yet been able to figure out the connection.
