Taylor Ancestry from 1800 Ad

edmondsallan - Good morning . I thought when I dabbled with the keys this morning I should place before you , some of our- or another one of our distant relatives that are related - Hansens - Fullers - Samuel & Arthur Edmonds - Taylor ( nz )- Fox ( Eng ). In fact many of these names of family members are related to many of the northland tribes and although I haven't researched the Wanganui Maori ancestry chain properly, I think they may also be invovled in our family tree . Yesterday I had day off as the missus - ( my Boss ) was going to New Plymouth Flower show Festival with a couple of friends . So I went to one of the book shelves & pulled out one of the old Holding files from all those years ago when I was researching Auckland north . I blew off the dust , used my infalliable selection method ( drop the file on the floor . and the last one picked up is the chosen one ) This time The Name was
" Taylor" --------- A " Reverend Richard Taylor " At a glance at the "Stats " first page , I see only 95 % is proven 5 % not proven .We will just build up with this one, with a start in England .
