Why do we have a picture of Mary Collis Taylor? - Revisited

So I've been studying the picture of Mary Collis Taylor again. I've been looking through fashion books and websites trying to determine when the picture was taken by dating the clothing she was wearing. And I've come to a shocking conclusion...it can't possibly be Mary Collis Taylor in that picture.

La Couturiere Parisienne has been a valuable site in searching on fashion in the 1800s. And wouldn't you know it...they show a fashion plate that is very similar to the dress in the Mary Collis picture. They have dated it Autumn 1880. I also used Fashion Era, Edwardian & Victorian Photographs - Roger Vaughn Personal Collection, and Liverpool Photographers in the process of dating this and other photographs.

After talking with my cousin, she looked through her files and found a scan of the entire Mary Collis picture.Wow! There's a lot more to the picture than I thought there was. Unfortunately, there is no photographers stamp on the bottom to help in location or date. But the dress is clearly after 1870. But the girl can't be more than 16. By 1870, Mary Collis Taylor was 24. If the picture is later than that--1880 for example, it make it even more impossible.

So if it isn't Mary Collis Taylor, who is it?

My first thought was a sister. If the picture is as late as 1877 or 1880 it could be Annie M Taylor, Charles Jr's, sister. Here is a photograph of her after her marriage. But my cousin doesn't think her face is shaped the same as the Mary Collis picture. What do you think?

But a few other questions come in then. This girl is wearing a very well-made dress. If Annie was a servant where would she get the money for such an expensive dress? Marianne apparently worked for her living by then as well (1881 Census). So who had the money for really nice clothes? I speculated that it might have been taken at the same time as Charles Taylor (Jr)'s picture with the Derby hat...but that has a photographer's name listed and the mat doesn't match this one.

However, look at this:



George Henry Taylor - Charles Taylor [Jr] - ? Taylor

Annie Moore-Taylor


Annie was born 11 Dec 1865 in Liverpool, England. She emigrated to the United States with Charles and Alice Jane (Jennie) in 1885. They came aboard the Inman Line's City of Chester.

Annie married Duane Robert Linsley about 1887, presumably in Montana. She would have been 22.

Duane was born in 1857 in Wisconsin, the son of Charles Linsley and Filena. (1860) He grew up in Minnesota (1870, 1880) and later moved further west. He was a Grocer his entire life.

Their first child, Hazel May Linsley was born September 1888 in Dakota Territory. Their second child, George Howard Linsley was born August 1889 in Montana.

By 1900 the Linsleys are in Pocatello, Idaho. Then in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1910, 1920 & 1930. Duane died 5 December 1932 in Colorado Springs. What a sad Christmas they must have had that year!

Annie moved to Midwest, Wyoming to live with her daughter, Hazel, who had married Fred Temple. They had two daughters, Dorothy and Charolette. George had married Lillie Bertie and they had two daughters, as well, Nellie and Flora.

Annie died 7 March 1936 in Midwest. She was buried beside her husband in Evergreen Cemetery in Colorado Springs.

This picture was taken in Colorado Springs at the Garden of the Gods (did you know the Lone Ranger Westerns were shot here?) when Charles Taylor (Jr.), his wife, Anna Marie Helland and daughter Hilda Virginia (Ginnie) went to visit them. The other children were already married by the time of this visit which was around 1930

Annie's death certificate lists her mother's name as Marian DeBarcy born in France. Her father was Charles Taylor born in England. Each census lists Annie's mother as born in France and speaks French and her father as born in England. Both of which corroborate Charles Taylor (Jr.)'s information.

Moore?

So their surname on the ship's list was "Moore." Why Moore? Where did Moore come from? And if their name was Moore, why did they say their father's name was Taylor and use the Taylor surname in the United States? Did someone make a mistake?

Okay, so searching for all of these people with the surname of Moore turned up christening records for William, Annie & Charles, all in St Peter's Church, Liverpool. All with a father of Charles Moore and mother Mary Ann. 1861, 1871, 1881 censuses stating Mary Ann Moore. In 1861, she is a servant to Charles Taylor, living at Cleveland Square. But no baby William (he was born in 1860). In 1871, the family was William Moore, druggist, Mary Ann, William, George, Annie, & Charles. But Charles Taylor was listed living at the Cleveland Square address with a servant, Margaret Rooney. Is William Moore, druggist the same as Charles Taylor, druggist? In 1881, the household consisted of Mary Ann Moore, widow, machinist (I think this refers to sewing machine), George, Charles & Jennie. Charles Taylor is listed as retired druggist, with a wife, Margaret & daughter Nellie, 1 year old!!!!!!

So clearly, by 1881 Charles and Mary Ann have split up. Apparently she claimed to be a widow to explain all the children she had. Were they divorced? Were they ever married?

In 1871, even though Charles has a new servant, he appears to be supporting Mary Ann and the children, since none of them have occupations then but they do by 1881.

Mary Ann's death certificate states she died 31 Dec 1882, Annie was the informant. Moore was both their surnames. In 1881, there is an Annie Moore who matches our Annie's age, a servant in a wealthy household.


















In May 1885, Annie, Charles & Jennie are aboard the ship The City of Chester, emigrating to the United States and their brother, William, who reportedly left in 1876....hmmm, the same year Jennie was born....was he protesting something? Was Jennie really Charles' daughter? Was William known in the United States by the surname Moore or the surname Taylor? Did it take more than two years to make contact and arrangements for the younger children to go to William? Who paid for the crossing? Where were the younger kids, from the time their mother died until they left England?

More and more questions. More and more mysteries.
