The 1908 Autograph Book of Mary Hannah Taylor
by Gillian Danby
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have an autograph book that has come into my possession that belonged to Mary Hannah TAYLOR (my  GG Aunt).

Mary Hannah Taylor
daughter of Charles Taylor and
Elizabeth nee SMITH

Born 1866 in Batley, West Riding of Yorkshire. Died 1925 in Weber County, Utah, USA

In the early 1900's, Mary Hannah joined the Mormon Church and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

Before she sailed in 1908, she filled up 75 pages of an autograph book with good
w
ishes from
family, friends and Mormon Elders.

These pages are obviously hand written and some contain addresses of the
people who signed.

Most of the signatures are from the Batley, Dewsbury, Leeds areas and also from
the Mormon Elders from Utah, USA.

The names transcribed from the Autograph Book have been re-arranged into
alphabetical order and are listed below, in two columns.

The SMITH entri
es may have been the children of Mary Hannah's half-brother,
Alfred Mazzini SMITH.

The J.T. SMITH was probably Alfred's son Joseph Thomas SMITH, and the
A. SMITH was possibly Alfred's daughter Amy.

The HEALD entries are first cousins of Mary Hannah, the children and
grandchildren of the marriage of Edward Heald and Hannah Smith.
