I have found two women whose parents have the same names who appear to have been born on the same day who married men of the same name on the same day 80 off miles apart.
Two Sarah Hornblows who both had parents named John & Elizabeth appear to have been born around the same time, married men called George Moore on the same day one in Piccadily Westminster the other in Colchester .
My interest is in Sarah Hornblow  daughter of Rev. John Hornblow and his wife Elizabeth Young. He was born in Essex sent to London as an apprentice. Once he became a master looking glass frame maker he stayed in london for 19 years in Cripplegate area where he became a baptist. In 1775 he married into a baptist family, the Youngs a dissident family of cabinet makers, before becoming ordained as a Particular baptist and being sent back to Essex, Braintree in 1779.
The other family were in Piccadilly Westminster where John Hornblow was a coal dealer who in 1780 married to Elizabeth Archer .
Both couples had daughters they called Sarah born,  it seems in the same year , who subsequently married George Moore. One in St Martins in Field London the other in Colchester in Essex on 17 June 1810.
To add to this when Elizabeth Young Hornblow died  she was living in Kentish town but she was buried in the St James Piccadilly where the Hornblow+ Archers family had their children baptised.

Does anyone else think  that they must have know each other??

During the uneasy reign of Henry VII John Taylor was one of Perkin Warbeck's first promoters
( circa 1474 – 23 November 1499)  a pretender to the English throne said to be the second son of Edward IV one of the two lost princes in the Tower.
Taylor was in charge of a small fleet, equipped and paid for by the King of France, which had been sent apparently to fetch a Yorkist prince. He spent a huge amount of money on the cause  around  1,750 livres including a 49 livres on a suit of white armour intended for the Yorkist Prince.
John Taylor was captured, in Ireland,in September 1499 with Warbeck, Cork’s mayor John Atwater, and his son.  They were tried and convicted on November 16 . Wilford was beheaded on the 29th November 1499  and John Taylor was imprisoned for 10 years.perkin Warebeck was ultimated hanged for treason , to behead him would have given greadence to his claim to be the true King of England.
 
John Taylor a customs official in Exeter and Dartmouth if he had a small fleet of ships presumably he was a merchant  possible from the wool trade .
He also appears to have leased a property in Brixham in 1476, so  before Henry VII took the throne in 1485.
Looking to discover more about this shadowy figure.

A Lovely mystery- an ancient Bible with no history
Does anybody have any connections to any of the names listed below -
 these were  inscribed in a 1595 bible recently found in St James Church Teignmouth - it is NOT a parish bible,  it was privately owned but we don't know by whom or when other than it must obviously be post 1595

I feel that this Bible has some connection with Lindridge Manor - a local Big House once part of the Bishop of Exeter's estate at Bishopsteignton, and  originally the Bishops Palace --before the Reformation 1534 - 1541 . This Bible was published before the King James version in the time of Eliz I and the printer was Christopher Barker the Queens printer  - there is at least one derogatory  remark made about the bishop of the time written in the Bible so the writer may have been a  newly  enthused  Protestant or even a puritan ? We simple do not know.  YET !

There is a  list of 39 names Godchildren -there are no dates but the presumption is that these are Tudor .
 the godparent wrote their names in the Bible must have been a wealthy and influential man to have so many godchildren
 these are the only names we can currently make out - the writing is late medieval ie Tudor with lots of curlicues - very difficult to interpret - these may be people from another part of England entirely - the name Virginia appears several times suggesting Elizabethan times
