This thread is ancient history now, but I'm working on my DNA connection to a large cluster of cousins who all seem to be connected to this Matthew Hill who died at Puniho, almost all with Māori ancestry.  I haven't figured out how I'm connected to him.

We now have DNA proof that our George William Wakefield was the child of Ellen Winifred Greeks :-)

Thanks for checking :-)  The James Dillon I'm hunting for has a son who did have a wife who died at age 26 leaving him with two children before he remarried, so these things can happen, but I'll check other possibles.

My Richard Dillon, son of James, was 'of Donaghcloney' and connected to Ballynagarrick too - very close to the town names you have.

Hi Thomas2Sam :-) 

I'm also trying to trace a James Dillon, of Co. Armagh, and I'm just starting to wonder if they're connected.  I'm wondering if yours could have had a first wife, Judith McCavney/McKeavney, and at least a couple of children, Isabelle b. 1845, Richard possibly b. 1844. 

It's just ringing bells, because Richard was living in Greenock, married there in 1865, but was from Armagh - I think he stayed there, but I have lots of matches with Australian Dillons, and his daughter, my great-grandmother Margaret, eventually left New Zealand and went to Sydney.  Her mother was a McCosker, who died young, and many of them also went to Australia. 

Have you done DNA testing?  I've got a large Dillon tree mapped out that connects my Dillon matches, but I'm still looking for my link.

Hertfordshire / Re: Ruel TAYLOR living in Welwyn during 1775, SOLOMON of Codicote

Thank you Trish!  I've been hunting for that burial information!  Glad to have a birth year for him.

Yes - I'd been exploring the Revel Taylor with Anne Blandy and trying to work out how the dates might fit - I suspect they'll be relatives.  She's buried at Putnam.  I've found evidence my Reuel was living in Clapham before moving to Codicote

And yes, I'm hunting for any further info about George Solomon and Sarah Oliver - it seems likely it's the same man.  Haven't yet found a marriage for them, or a death for Sarah.  George's marriage to Ann Taylor was so soon after Elizabeth was born.

Hello!  Rootschat didn't notify me of your reply  :-)

Yes - I'm taking an informed chance that 'Annabella' is my 3x great-grandmother Arabella Solomon, dau. of George Solomon, who had children with William Hallett in London. 

I haven't yet found a marriage for Arabella and William.  (Found it indexed!   5 Sep 1797, St George's Hanover Square)

This thread is from so long ago!  In case anyone is still looking for Taylors in Hertfordshire - I'm currently on the trail of an earlier Taylor - Ruel Taylor, of Welwyn, whose daughter Anne Taylor b. about 1755 in Codicote, married George Solomon in 1775 in Codicote.  The names you've found so far seem to repeat in the line I'm looking at

Hertfordshire / Ruel TAYLOR living in Welwyn during 1775, SOLOMON of Codicote
« on: Sunday 09 January 22 01:17 GMT (UK)  »
I have located a father-of-the-bride for my possible ancestor, but can't find linking pieces of information.

George SOLOMON b. abt 1754,  married Anne TAYLOR, b. abt 1755, in 1775 at Codicote.  Her father Ruel gave consent as she was 20, and he was 'of Welwyn'

There's a marriage for a Revel TAYLOR of 'Wellwyn' to Ann PURSEY at St James Westminster in 1754

I see there's a plaque in St Mary's, Welwyn, with an Edward TAYLOR d.1726 aged 23 'late of Grey's Inn, son of Francis TAYLOR, gent, of City of York.'  - possibly related? 

There's a baptism record for an Edward TAYLOR b. 1702, to Francis, St Michael le Belfrey, York

I'm hoping to find something to show Ruel/Reuel/Revel Taylor's parents.  Possibly Edward or a brother?  I'm also hoping to find anything about George Solomon's family - he is noted as a 'Victualler' at marriage, aged 21. 

Any insight much appreciated!
