Hi Graham, How come you never told me about him before? I have a couple of group photo's of RFC men but I don't know anything about them, I will show you them sometime. I keep having problems putting photo's on WW because of the sizes, I don't know how to alter them. E.T.

Hi Eric

I only found out recently about the RFC link. In fact Ron on WW put me in touch with a second cousin who provided the photo.

Hi Graham can you send me a better scan? I can print it off and I'll pass it on to Barbara

Is George born 4th June 1895 and lived at 2, Vine Street?

Hi Ron

This is the one you forwarded to me via Barbara.He is with a mate on the original but I just cropped it to put on my Ancestry tree.

Thanks Graham, amazing how many "George Arthur Taylor" there are Wigan 100 years ago, I have two others from Thomas Taylor / Elizabeth Jane nee Carter on Chapel Lane/Queen Street. Rgds Chris
