No death or other entry found under the name of Taylor.

There are 61 Taylor births with a mother’s maiden name of Fowler.  This is far too many to even hope to identify any children she might have had.  It will probably take until the 2051 census to hope to access any births up to 1951 and probably will need the 1961 census as well.  I shall be well under 6 ft below by then.

There is birth for Kitty Ruth Taylor, her father’s co-executor:

Year  Surname  Forenames  District
1958  Taylor   Kitty R    St Albans, Herts

From the internet there are two further daughters whose married names are Harriet Rutherford Smith and Susan Elizabeth Moss.  There birth indices are:

Year  Surname  Forenames  District
1952  Taylor   Harriet R  Macclesfield, Cheshire
1962  Taylor   Susan E    St Albans, Herts

So Elizabeth and Henry could have started off their married life in Cheshire, then moved to St Albans and retired to the lake district.  A search with these locations brings in:

Year  Surname  Forenames  District
1953  Taylor   Jane C     Macclesfield, Cheshire
1956  Taylor   Polly F    St Albans, Herts
1964  Taylor   Henry R    St Albans, Herts

Nowhere is there any mention that they had a son, let alone one named Henry, though it does sound possible that he might have had one with the same name as his.  If Henry is removed, the above leaves five daughters which is what can be found in some internet gossip site.  Try the electoral rolls?
