Looking for Robert Guy Taylor

Question

Robert Guy Taylor is named as the father. I believe that this person maybe one of the people I am looking for. What I know is that a Robert Guy Taylor was the son of William Farrow Taylor and Alice Louise Taylor nee Trew. Born around 1903/04 in Cambridge. UK. Quite a few brothers and sisters including the eldest son William Farrow Taylor

I have been led to believe that Robert Guy Taylor left his university course in UK and went to Australia ( 1920's ?)

Can you find any clues?

Thanks. Stuart

Stuart, why the link to Peter Taylor's profile? How is he connected to your question?

Ah, never mind; I see that the narrative includes a source reference that names Peter's father as Robert Guy. I didn't see that initially. Never mind. ;-)

Thanks Wayne,

I am confused. A 1923 wedding transcription showed Robert Guy Taylor marrying a Elsie Lillian Waller - see answer above. Do you have a web link I could follow?
