Mean orbits of meteor streams associated with Comet P/Encke, together with the dispersion of individual orbits and changes of the orbital elements across the streams are evaluated on the basis of precise photographic observations. Association of several minor showers with the streams is analyzed, applying stream membership D-criterion. The results are compared and inter-related to those obtained for other streams, especially those associated with P/Halley. Reality and origin of the whole meteoric complex, including the diffuse sporadic stream associated with P/Encke is discussed. On the basis of the orbital data alone it is impossible to come to the final conclusion whether the Taurid meteor complex was produced by a continuous outflow of particles from a large single parent body, or from a few closely associated smaller bodies with common origin. More investigation is needed on the orbital evolution of the streams and their potential parent bodies, as well as a complex examination of the orbits, radiants, and hourly rates of all the showers involved.
