Hello there, I've just been looking at the family you mentioned on Ancestry.co.uk and that looks a good match for part of my wife's family tree. Her g-greatmother was Elizabeth Taylor, and Elizabeth's father was Thomas Taylor. Also the dates and locations look right. What I know is that our Elizabeth Taylor originally married a chap called Hewitt. They had at least three children: William (about 1887), John Thomas (about 1888), and Elizabeth Alice (about 1890). Mr Hewitt died at some point, because in December 1890, Elizabeth remarried Thomas Cotter. So, Thomas Cotter and Elizabeth are my wife's g-granparents. These two, and the three Hewitt children are on the 1891 census at 67 Havelock Street, Oswaldtwistle. Does that match any of your stuff?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
