I have received a letter from an heir hunting company and although there doesn't seem to be any connection to myself I thought I would ask if anyone else has information or connections as I can't find either name.

The people they are looking for are a William Taylor born c1886 who married an Anne Billingham in Sheffield in 1910 who have possibly three children- William, Ethel and ?. They seem to think my father Arthur Bernard Taylor is the third child but this isn't correct. I know some of Jacob Billingham's relatives so who knows?moved to the Sheffield area

Only thing i can see and bear with me on this

The names seem to match but the marriage isn't in Sheffield. My sister has just returned from a holiday and has also received the letter so they must have connected our family line somehow even though I don't know of a William in the family.

I have not been able to develop an extended family tree on the Taylor side as there is uncertainty about my great great grandfather's date of birth ( the Family Bible shows 1782 but nearly everyone on Ancestry has used 1786 so he may have siblings I don't know about who have a William as a relative. The family was based round Stoke Prior so in roughly the right direction for Stourbridge.

I can't see a marriage at Sheffield that would fit

But this could be William
