Hello Hartay, I'm connected to the Taylor family and am a direct descendant of James and Lydia Taylor through their son John. I have quite a bit of info on the family (much of it kindly provided by Geoff Robinson of the Worlingworth History group).
I haven't been able to get any further back with Susannah Carver (1740-1827), I don't know what parish she came from. John's (1746-1817) parents were James Taylor (b.c. 1717) and Elizabeth Watling (b. 1718); I believe James was the illegitimate son of Sarah Taylor, and his father most likely a John Richards - John was a yeoman of Worlingworth, and he and James Richards of Bedfield agreed to pay £40 " to indemnify the parish from the bastard child of Sarah Taylor". Later John remembered young James in his will.
Your William and wife Eliza and family arrived in Sydney on 17 December 1852 on the ship "Hyspades". Their young son James (b. 1848) died at sea.
Please pm me if I can be of any further help,
Janet
