The Maybee Society in the USA had copied the article onto their website and a descendant of Maud Taylor’s in Dorset, Caroline Jay Ranger was drawn to it by the “Fancy Lady”.
As Caroline read it, all the names her mother had mentioned were there and she realised the “Fancy Lady” Ada “Maud” Mabey nee Taylor, was most probably her Great Grandmother.
Previously we had no knowledge of Maud’s first child. Frank Charles Edward Taylor, illegitimate, was born on 26 May 1902, at 19 James Street, Southampton, Hampshire and had been handed over to John Daly and his wife Eliza Alexandra Emms and raised by them. Frank later changed his name to Daly, but not until 2nd September 1949.
