Born at Market Drayton in Shropshire in or about 1843, Charles Tayleur, Junior, of the 7th Royal Fusiliers was the son of the Reverend Charles Tayleur, MA, and the nephew of William Tayleur of Buntingsdale Hall in Shropshire. 

He appears on the 1861 census, aged 18, living at The Fields in Market Drayton, the home of his widowed mother, Frances, who described herself as a ‘Railway Shareholder.’

Miss Lilias Flemyng Gyll was youngest daughter of Gordon Willoughby James Gyll of Wraysbury in Buckinghamshire. She was baptised at St Marylebone on 27 June 1846. On 2 June 1863 she married Charles Tayleur, Junior, at the Cathedral in Gibraltar. 

In 1881 Tayleur was living at Brand Hall at Norton-in-Hales in Shropshire. His wife was elsewhere the night the census was taken, but present in the house were two daughters, Lilias Mary and Evelyn Harriet, and one son, Gordon Brook, aged 4.

After her death, Charles remarried. In 1898 he married Constance Emily Lovett at Holy Trinity in Marylebone. Eighteen years his junior, she was the daughter of John Henniker Lovett, formerly a Captain in the 2nd Life Guards. The couple appear on the 1901 census living at Marine Place in Seaton, Devon.
