ID: I85006 Name: Hanger TAYLEFER Surname: Taylefer Given Name: Hanger Sex: M Birth: 1256 in Ospringe, County Kent, England LDS Baptism: 4 Apr 1997 Temple: SLAKE Endowment: 28 Dec 1999 Temple: SGEOR Note: Notes from http://anglo42.home.comcast.net/name.htm HISTORY OF THE TAYLOR NAME The name ...Taylor... is thought to be derived from the old Anglo-French ...taillour... or Old French ...tailleor..., or ...tailleur..., or ...cutter of cloth.... This may be an assumption. Old records indicate the name means ...cutter... as in swordsman. There are indications that the name may be traced back to the Norman Conquest in 1066. In that historic event, one Ivo Taliaferro was honored by William the Conqueror, or William the First, for his bravery. The heirs of Ivo Taliaferro (he died at Hastings) were given lands in Kent, in the south of England. In records of 1256 there is a Hanger Taylefer. Taylefer is thought to be a derivation of Taliaferro. The surname of Hanger Taylefer's son is listed as Tayler, or Taylor. This is reported but not documented. In the mists of history there can be mistakes. Another variation of Taliaferro or Talifer is Toliver. In other records, the first mention of Taylor is in 1180 with a listing of Walter Taylur. In 1182 in the Pipe Rolls of Somerset, there is a William le Taillur. In some church records, the name is Latinized as ...Cissor.... Change Date: 3 Apr 2007 at 00:52:05
