I am looking for John William Taylor...my grandfather. He would be aged between 70 - 80 years
I know....
He was living in Tamworth in the early 1950's and worked at the Commercial Banking Company.
Was friends with Barry Alldis from 2TM radio.
Was later to become a pilot.
Married a Shirley Vercoe who I am lead to believe was a model.
His father was a policeman in Katoomba at some stage.
He may have lived in Sydney and somewhere in Queensland.
My mother was born in 1954 in Sydney.
I am lead to believe that he knew about the pregnacy but was warned off by a relative?
If anyone could help with any information it would be greatly appreciated.
He may wish to leave these things in the past, if that is the case I will respect his wishes; I am just trying to find my mother some answers that I feel could bring some form of comfort.

I am a direct descendant of the Loch and Reardon/Riordan familes who were Bounty immigrants. The Loch dynasty in Australia was started by Thomas Loch and Christina Duncan. Thomas was the overseer at Goonoo Goonoo. Denis Riordan and Honorah ( Morry ) Flynn settled in Sydney originally but then moved to the region to The Rockgidgele Station just outside Quirindi. Their daughter Honorah Riordan married James Loch at Burburgate, Carroll.

I have a lot of relatives that came from around the Tamworth area. My Great Great Grandfather, Richard Brown married Mary Muggleton in Tamworth in 1865. My Great Great Grandfather, William (Hans Christian) Albertson from Denmark and his wife Maria Sophia Thomson (along with another borther and sister) settled in Tamworth in the 1860s. His and his brother's families represent almost all the Albertson in New South Wales. I am happy to supply or recieve any information. Regards Brad
