The Taylor Family

Several readers of the Culbert Family History blog (including me) are descendants of Myron Manford Culbert (1884-1961) of Biddulph Township near Lucan, Ontario. That means you're also descendants of Myron's wife, Effie Pearl Taylor (1886-1957).

Effie was born and raised on a farm east of Exeter, Ontario in Usborne Township, Huron County but her roots go back to Norfolk, England. Her great-grandparents, John Taylor and Mary Clark of Snettisham immigrated to Canada in 1836, four years before the Culberts came to Canada. The Taylors settled in Pickering Township which was at that time a wilderness, east of Toronto, Ontario.

Around 1855, Effie's grandparents, John Taylor and Margaret Jane Mason moved from Pickering Township to Usborne Township where Effie was born.

I've started a blog called Taylor Family Roots to document the Taylor family, just as I've done for our Culbert family. Like our Culbert family, the Taylor family has several branches and countless descendants. 

There's not much to see on the blog yet because I've been so busy with the Culbert blog. However, those of you who are descendants of Effie Pearl (Taylor) Culbert might be interested to read about this other side of your family history. I'll gradually post more there as time goes by. Click here if you're interested.

And for those of you who aren't Taylor descendants, I'll be back here soon with more Culbert stories for you.
