Title: Taylor family
Post by: Jane190 on Thursday 09 July 20 20:03 BST (UK)
I need help to find out more about the Taylor family from the Lyneham area. Henry Taylor married Jane Ooens (Goens) in 1731 in Lyneham. Her surname could be Owens if you consider the pronunciation of Ooens.

I think Henry was the Henry Taylor who was baptised in Tockenham in 1707 son of Henry Taylor and Katherine Hicks who married in 1687 in Tockenham.

I would like to find out more about Jane Ooens and her parents and about the parents of Henry Taylor, Henry Taylor and Katherine Hicks. I appreciate any help and I’m thankful for any help

If these are the Baptisms of Henry & Jane’s children

Sarah Taylor   6 May 1732   Westbury
Mary Tayler   4 Mar 1733   Lyneham
Millior Taylor   (Only father noted)   28 Sep 1734   Westbury
Jane Tailer           27 Sep 1739   Lyneham
Thomas Tailer   28 Feb 1739   Lyneham

I wonder if this is  Jane?

Thank you for the Information  ;D  Jane Ovens of Stanton St. Quintin is a great find, Henry Taylor and Jane had children called Thomas and Jane so it’s worth checking the family

I’ve found a marriage of a Thomas Ovens to a Jane Hellier 1703 in Bremhill but turned out that the couple had children in Stanton St. Quintin before 1703 so the marriage 1703 is a different couple.

Hi again ;D

I think I have the wrong James Taylor, son of Henry and Jane of Lyneham. There’s no baptism in Lyneham or Tockenham I can find for a James Taylor born between 1725-1738. I thought the couple would be right one because Henry was also a Carpenter like James and james later had a son called Henry in Lyneham in 1763. can someone help to find the baptism of my ancestor James Taylor ?

The one born in Hilmarton 1720 son of Jacob and Hannah is not the right one , this one married Elizabeth Ferris in Tockenham 1754 and had children in Hilmarton
