Post by: Mackerwithey on Friday 27 April 07 00:17 BST (UK)

Looking for the birth information and parents of Mary LAYLAND who married John TAYLOR 16 Nov 1820, Redmarley D'Abitot. 1851 census of Redmarley lists Mary as 53 years old and born at Lye. Requesting lookup of christening date for Mary. Thank you.

Hello Mackerwithey,
I've looked at the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census and agree that they state that Mary Layland Taylors birth place was Lye. However, the IGI gives information about a Mary Ann Layland born 13 March 1798 and married to a John Taylor on  16 November 1820. The place of birth of this Mary was Leigh, worcestershire, a town about 20k from Redmarley Gloucestershire. Her mothers name is given as Elizabeth'

I hope this helps
John

Hi John,

I saw that entry in the IGI also, but I wonder if someone assumed that Mary Layland (from Leigh) was the Mary LAYLAND that married John TAYLOR. I am skeptical of that connection.  I am hoping someone will find Mary LAYLAND in Lye where she says she is from.

Thank you for taking time to consider my problem.
