Taylors of Brampton
« on: Tuesday 16 June 15 03:21 BST (UK) »
Looking for info on George Taylor of Brampton, possibly buried 1821 Brampton (NBI) aged 69. He may have had a wife Alice.

His daughter Eleanor (Ellen) Taylor married John Bott in Huntingdon in 1815. John died in Canada in 1828 and Ellen then married Samuel Hilliam in Huntingdon in 1832.

Sarah Taylor was a witness to Ellen's marriage to John  Bott in 1815. Am assuming this to be Ellen's unmarried sister.

Possible Sarah married Thomas Fullard and settled in Thorney, Cambridgeshire. No marriage found as yet. This couple seem to start having children around 1816.

Any information about the Taylor family from Brampton including other possible siblings for Ellen would be appreciated.

Thanks

Denise

Marriages, per Hunts Marriage Index, which might be relevant:
Brampton 1773 George Taylor & Ann Chafer botp
Brampton 1792 George Taylor widower & Alice Doughty widow botp
An Ann Taylor was buried in Brampton in 1779

As far as I can see Ellen Bott wasn't described as a widow on marriage to Samuel Hilliam

Thomas and Sarah Fullard baptised six children in Thorney in 1823. so unless there were multiple births they'd have been going some to fit them all in from 1816. What's the evidence that the Sarah Fullard in Thorney was née Sarah Taylor? There's a marriage in Brampton in 1811 between Thomas Fullard of Broughton and Sarah Pick otp, which fits better for a couple who had six children by 1823. There's also a marriage in Brampton in 1815 between Sarah Taylor and John Green (of course, if the marriage was before the 1815 marriage of Eleanor Taylor then this can't be the right Sarah).

Thanks for the info about the marriages of George Taylor in Brampton.

The reason I thought Ellen's sister Sarah may have married Thomas Fullard is because she was one of three Sarahs born in Brampton on the 1851 census who were born around the right time.

I had conditionally eliminated two, Sarah Jinks or Jenks and Sarah Lantaff, because I found the marriages and the previous name was not Taylor.

The earliest child of the six Fullard children christened in Sep 1823 was Thomas born c 1816, then William c 1818, Francis c 1820,  George Henry c 1822, and Edward c 1823. Don't have a date for John as he appears to have died before the 1841 census. He could possibly have been the eldest and not at home by the 1841 census of course.

However, I agree that the marriage of Thomas Fullard to Sarah Pick in 1811 is most likely the couple who settled in Thorney.

Your mention of a Sarah Taylor marrying a John Green in 1815 piqued my interest though as Sarah Lantaff had been Sarah Green before she married James Lantaff in 1821 in Hemingford Abbots. He had previously been married to Sarah Daniel who died in 1819. They had about nine children and then he had a another two with the second Sarah.

There is another thread on here where his daughter Elizabeth, with his first wife, married secondly a William Allen after being married to James Gaunt.

I can't find a death of a John Green between 1811 and 1819 on the NBI but may have been in a parish not covered.

I am sure the marriage between Ellen Bott and Samuel Hilliam is John's widow. There is only one Bott family in Huntingdon at the time and she is the only Ellen. Co-incidently Samuel Hilliam was the widower of Ellen's deceased husband John Bott's cousin (not first), Ann Newitt,  whom he had married in Godmanchester in 1827.

Thank you so much for that information Margaret. It adds to my knowledge, but now also raises more questions and avenues to be explored. I appreciate you taking the time and making the effort to lookup and send this information.


Cheers
