Ruel TAYLOR living in Welwyn during 1775, SOLOMON of Codicote

[taonga1]

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!

There is a baptism for Anne Taylor 24/11/1755 Codicote, Father Ruel Mother Anna. You have probably got already that George Soloman and Anne Taylor had a daughter Annabella Soloman baptised 8/9/1776 Codicote.

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)

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.
