Taylor family of Blean, Kent

[Laverdiere]

I'm looking for the marriage of a Thomas Taylor to a Mary of Blean, Kent about 1800.  According to the England Births and Christenings database at FamilySearch they had two children: my ancestor William christened 21 May 1802.

Thanks for your help!  Laverdiere

I've got transcripts of Blean PRs, but although I've found the two baptisms, there's no marriage for a Thomas Taylor to a Mary at the right time (there's one in 1705)

Thank you for the look up Betty!  Good to know to look elsewhere for their marriage.  Did you notice any other of their children in Blean by any chance?

Their son William married in Herne so maybe they moved there.

No more children for Thomas & Mary in Blean, only William 1802 & Thomas 1804.

I've got Herne PRs, there's one Thomas marrying a Mary MOORE, but that's in 1783, which might be too early for your couple?

A lot of Taylor baptisms, for a Thomas & Mary they are: 1779, 1785, 1787, 1815, 1817, 1821 & 1852.

Thanks Betty--I'm not sure if those are mine but its good to know what is there.

Could I ask another favour since you have the Herne register?

William Taylor married an Elizabeth Adhams or Adames in Herne.  She was born about 1803 in Herne.  Also her parents and siblings would be nice to know.

I was going to order a microfilm to obtain the info but apparently it's one of the restricted films that doesn't leave the Family History Library in Salt Lake. Rare when that happens!

So its exciting you have these records and are willing to do look ups!

Hmmm... How sure are you of that marriage?
Only one marriage for a William TAYLOR to an Elizabeth is this:
1826 26th Oct
William TAYLOR, Ba, otp
Elizabeth D?  Sp, Chislet, L? (That's in the By Banns or Licence column)
Witnesses: Unreadable.

Plenty of baptisms for ADAMS (nothing for Elizabeth), but nothing for ADHAMS or ADAMES.

That's what familysearch.org record says married 8 Oct 1826--their source is the parish record...though actually another transcription gives the date of 14 Oct 1826...but the film reference is also for Herne Bay...not sure if that is another place...they have a son Thomas in 1827...do you happen to know if he was buried in Herne parish...

So Elizabeth might be from Chislet interesting...to bad the Herne record is so hard to read!

Thanks, Laverdiere

Herne Bay grew out of Herne but didn't have it's own church until 1841.  It could be that the IGI refs. for the William TAYLOR/Elizabeth marriage could be from the banns (they, too, are parish records/registers) - especially if there are differing dates.

I've just noticed I've got the Banns for Herne Casalduidi is right.
The banns were called 26th Sept/1st Oct/8th Oct for William TAYLOR, B, otp, and Elizabeth ADAMES, S, Chislett.


I'll have a look at burials.
