Marriage of Mary TAYLOR

[Annie65115]

Looking at census returns, there were several Job Taylors b in Earl Shilton over the years! I'm getting a bit lost as to who we're trying to follow and how we know that we've got the right family ---

One that has caught my eye is in Leicester in 1861: a Job Taylor age 37 (so b 1824), no place of birth given, but I can see him in 1851 and the pob was Ealr Shilton. His wife Eliza was also b Earl Shilton and they have a daughter Eleanor b Earl Shilton. This pair of names - Job and Eleanor - makes me wonder if this is another generation of the same family, and whether tracing them back might be any use   

Edited -- I think this was son of Richard and Mary - maybe you already have this stuff.

Sorry Annie, yes that was the son of Richard and Mary.  All these families seem to be big, and they are keen on recycling christian names!

The game's afoot, Watson!

This article

http://nmmc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Queen_Transport.pdf

has details about  the wreck of the Queen, and the subsequent dispute about the will, and mentions Job (Jnr's) brother-in-law Thomas Stanford.  So it seems it's a marriage of Eleanor Taylor and Thomas Stanford that I'm after.

I've been following this post with interest.   It looks as though you were right in the first place though and Eleanor's married name was Baillie:

Ah yes, thanks for the reality check Jomot.

So, recapping.

The TAYLOR sisters remain a mystery.  The first born Sarah died in infancy.  I can only find birth/baptisms for Mary (baptised 21 Mar 1784, Earl Shilton).  But there was possibly two more:  Eleanor, who married John BAILLIE, and the wife of Thomas STANFORD, who advertised looking for the will as Job TAYLOR's brother in law (although he could have been the brother of his wife Lucy).

More work required I guess!

That article the the shipwreck has Job and Lucy's marriage details and Lucy was apparently Diplock prior to being wed. So Thomas Stanford is prob not her brother (unless she was a widow when she married Job).

Thomas Stanford married Ann Diplock at Lewes, Sussex in 1792, so presumably Ann & Lucy were sisters.

Job & Lucy's marriage at St Nicholas, Brighton - main left column, about 1/4 of the way down:

A quick thought about Eleanor -- The will was written in 1812 and simply refers to her as Job's sister Eleanor. Probate was issued in 1815 and refers to her as Eleanor Taylor, with the Taylor crossed out and Baillie written afterwards.

So I wonder if she married between those two dates?

I also wonder what the chances are that "sister" might have been used flexibly, just as we would not nowadays consider Thomas Stanford (the husband of Job's wife's sister) to be bro-in-law to Job?
