I would be grateful for help in tracing any information about William Taylor born 1795.
I know that he was the father of Isabella Taylor b 1815 Ravenstonedale Westmoreland. HIs wife was Ann

I would like to trace his parents and also discover the date of his marriage and the maiden name of his wife Ann

Any assistance would be appreciated
Kind regards
James
