Chapman sounds somewhat familiar. Not Davidson though. Does it show William Taylor always living in Sunderland before coming to the US?

Thanks for all this help!!

If you do not have Williams marriage certificate I think you need to get that - I think I am right in saying US marriage certificates may have the mothers maiden name on it

Dedham Ma, this is him!!!!

on the census  1880,USA

it states Williams mother is Irish and his father English
does this tie in with the English census returns
he is married,a woolen mill worker, and has children
Ann Julia ,Martin,William and George born Conneticut

There are trees on Ancestry suggesting Joseph Taylor married Mary Ann Chapman on 18 March 1842 at Sunderland

So going by the ages of teh children on the 1851 census it does look like Joseph was married before. You could get a copy of the marriage certificate to see if this is so

Married a Theresa (or Tracy) Mulkhern or Mulhern, not sure. Married in Massachusetts about 1885.

This looks like their marriage, in 1869 in Rhode Island - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F8KF-FVH

And this looks like George Taylor's marriage, listing William & Theresa as parents - http://www.rootschat.com/links/0pdw/

Also, in case it helps, a Dedham city directory stated that William died 8 Oct. 1918.  An obituary might give you some clues, such as where he was born or if he had any surviving siblings.  Sometimes, libraries will do look-ups for obituaries, so if you're out of the area, it might be worth a try to get in touch with the Dedham library.  There is contact information here - http://library.dedham-ma.gov/contact

Baptisms Sunderland:

Jane Taylor baptised 7 Jul 1814 d/o Robert and Alice, buried 12 Jul 1814, infant
Isabella Taylor baptised 7 Jul 1814 d/o Robert and Alice

Also buried the same day, so sad,  Alice Taylor, age 43, Union Lane

Robert Taylor first married Alice Bowser, she died, then married Alice Brown.  Nice--no mistakes calling your wife the wrong name!!

It looks like Robert and Alice (Bowser) had children before 1812 so you be in luck as those records give more information
