As you are unsure about your facts perhaps you could post a census with the person you know is your Grandad -so we can work back from there. It's a bit of a jump back to the 1840's and beyond to start off the research

I have had some amazing support from total strangers on this site, giving their time selflessly for free. Thank you. I am looking for Nightingale, as have hit a dead end an not sure if my end is right. If I start from the top a little, it might make sense more.
My Granddad was Harry Taylor B.1894 - D.1986 approx His father was Herbert Taylor B.1868 - D. 1918 approx, I believe and was disinherited for marrying a maid, so I heard. By the name of Little (not sure on this)
Herbert's father was William Taylor B. 1825 I believe D. 1908 He married a Louisa Nightingale. So this is what I have on nightingale if the right ones.
I believe Louisa above, that she was one of 9 children to George Nightingale who married Louisa (no surname) I believe these were the other 8 siblings D.O.Bs of approx George Nightingale - 1836 Mary Nightingale - 1838 Charles Nightingale - 1841 (could of died at birth) could be twin to William William Nightingale - 1841 (could of died at birth) S (no first name) Nightingale - 1842 Eleanor Nightingale - 1845 Julia Nightingale - 1846 H (no first name) Nightingale - 1849
I got the above from 2 census's. But they were free ones. I have nothing else past this, and not 100% on above. My granddad is right, and great granddad (apart from Herbert's wife think she was a little)
Any help is much appreciated. There all mostly London/Middlesex area too.
