Title: MIs look-ups Church Gresley & Newhall
Post by: TonyR on Friday 23 April 10 06:12 BST (UK)

Hi all, I'm after Monumental Inscriptions for 2 people.  While I cannot see anyone offering look-ups at these places, just fingers-crossed that they are available & someone may have access to them.

First look-up for William is to see if his wife Mary nee White (or anyone else) is buried with him, although I cannot see a reference to this anywhere.

William Taylor aged 42, buried 04 December 1816, St George & St Mary's Church, Church Gresley

Second look-up is for Mary if she isn't with William above.  This because it is only burial I can see in the area that 'fits' Mary's age from 1841 census of 68 (how I can prove this Mary is William's wife & why she wouldn't be buried with William are more problems for another day).

Mary Taylor aged 76, buried 23 October 1849, St John's Church, Newhall

All info gratefully received.  Regards, TonyR.

Hi Tony,

Did you get a reply to this? William is actually my 5th Great Grandfather. I still live in the area if you would like some local information.  :)

Hi Luke, I had forgotten all about this till you answered, it was a long time ago!

So thanks for your reply, because it made me review my findings so far. I now have a theory as to why Mary Taylor nee White wasn’t buried with her husband William Taylor in Church Gresley, but I need information from St George and St Mary’s Church to confirm / disprove this. I have messaged the church and depending on their response, I might need to take up your offer of help with local information.

What is your lineage to William Taylor & Mary White?

Mine is:- William & Mary are my Great-great-great-great-grandparents
Their daughter Sarah Taylor (ch.27 Sep 1807) married John Rhodes (my Great-great-great-grandparents)
Their son Henry Rhodes (ch.5 Jun 1836) married Elizabeth Reynolds (my Great-great-grandparents)
Their daughter Alice Rhodes (born 3 Mar 1864) married George Day (my Great-grandparents)
Their son George Day married my Granny

Will let you know if church answers and what conclusion (if any) I can formulate from their response. Regards, Tony.

Hi Tony,

My great grandmother Lily's maiden name was Taylor. The line then goes:

William Taylor 1849, John Taylor 1829, William Taylor 1804, William Taylor 1775.

Keep me informed if you get a reply.

Luke.
