History
Mary Bramford of Sheffield, England, married Harcourt Taylor, a railroad engineer in [1906]. Harcourt emigrated to Canada in 1911. He was joined the next year by Mary and their son, Alwyn, and homesteaded south of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. In 1931 Alwyn moved to Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan, where he farmed his own quarter section. Harcourt Taylor died in 1936, and Mary moved to Turtle Lake to join her son. She remained there for the rest of her life, except for a period between 1937-1948, when she returned to England to care for her mother and could not return to Canada for the duration of the war. Mary died in Turtle Lake in 1955.
