Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I have the following soldier:-

17th-Aug-1917 King's Liverpool Regiment Private H S 267486 Taylor Formby Wounded

Documents online have him as Hubert S Taylor. Ancestry have him as Herbert S Taylor

Opinion on correct spelling of forename welcome

I can see why the confusion but it looks like Hubert to me.

Just a thought...

In the 1910+1 there isn't a Hubert S Taylor anywhere, of any age. But there are 4 Herbert S Taylors, 2 of whom are of an age that they could have been in WW1. Unfortunately, neither was born in Lancs.

TAYLOR, Herbert S 20 Wandsworth London
TAYLOR, Herbert S 38 West Ham Essex

Think I'll do 2 entries for this soldier and put See Hubert S Taylor and See Herbert S Taylor no service records survive for this chap there is a Herbert S Taylor in Formby on the 1911 in the military but he is with the Royal Field Artillery.

Thanks all

Re my previous post:
Must be a couple of wrong transcriptions in the 1910+1.
Found 3 Hubert S Ts who were were alive then but one would have been too young for war. Found deaths for the other 2, both of whom could have been in WW1.

TAYLOR, Hubert Spencer Cheshire, Crewe 1955 [aged 54]
TAYLOR, Hubert Stanley London, Hampstead 1968 [aged 75]
