Have you seen the rather long piece about, Hunter Taylor, Enoch Tranter, Elizabeth Taylor and Mary Ann Taylor in the Morpeth Herald of the 18th September 1909 Page 7, 3rd column headed 'A Row at Newbiggin' and 'A Woman Assaulted'? :reading:
 
Hmm something strange. This was in 1909. It names a Margaret Ann Taylor....where there 2 with that name there? As a Margaret Ann Taylor married Enoch Tranter in Morpeth in 1908.

I thought that might get you scratching your head - sorry to make things (even more) complicated :rolleyes::D

I was going to ask when Thomas Jevons/Jeavons died but after buying a couple of death certificates I found him. He died in the County Asylum, Burtwood, Litchfield. His cause of death was 'General Paralysis of the Insane' New one on me, had to look it up.

General paralysis of insane is a form of neurosyphilis which brings parenchymatous changes in the central nervous system. Its manifestations include a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms ranging from cognitive impairment to overt psychosis.

What causes general paralysis of the insane?

General paresis, also known as general paralysis of the insane (GPI), paralytic dementia, or syphilitic paresis is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder, classified as an organic mental disorder, and is caused by late-stage syphilis and the chronic meningoencephalitis and cerebral atrophy that are associated with this late stage of the disease when left untreated.

Syphilis unfortunately often caused infection of the unborn children as the organism causing it, a Spirochete (bacteria, Treponema pallidum) is like a screw that can bore into human cells and kill them from the inside. Many infants are spontaneously aborted (miscarriage) while the survivors can have multiple organ systems affected, esp brain, eyes, ears, so intellectual disability, blindness or deafness in infants were always eye with suspicion. The sexual partner could also be infected, producing miscarriage or chronic illness, so both mother and infant could die at the birth. Late life insanity with aggression is a tell-tale sign in communities where antibiotics are not available in the present day.

Enoch Tranter married Sarah Hughes in 1915 in Walsall, Staffordshire. (marriage certificate in the post)

Did Elizabeth marry and Enoch take his stepfather's name until his marriage ?

Can anyone tell Enoch's cause of death. (he was a coal miner)

My family tree has both Tranters and Jeavons from around Walsall. Some of my Jeavonses certainly had syphilis so it may have been a multi-generational thing (yucko).
