Dorset / Re: Isaac Taper - Can't find him

Hi Jeff,
Yes, it does seem to be a different line despite Rev. Isaac William dying in Ramsgate. I'd love to know more if you are able to unravel it and I'll keep Daniel in mind as I'm researching. One comment  I would just leave with you  though, in reference to dating your portraits - I'm certainly no expert but if I was seeing those portraits for the first time, I would probably think them later than 1830 - I'd say another 20 years at least, if not a few more again. That is based solely on the style of Ann's cap and dress which to me seems more typically Victorian than Georgian....but I would bow to the expertise of those fashion historians out there who may know better.  Good luck with your continued research. Best regards
Jane

Hi Jeff, thanks ever so much for sending your acknowledgement and your lovely portarits - they are great to see. How interesting this is! Sadly I don't have a single reference to a Daniel Tapper at all and thoink it must be a different barnch of the family. It was a surprisingly common name in Devon, Dorset, Wiltshshire and London in particular.
I can agree all the information you included about Isaac William Tapper and can tell you that he did have children - William Crocker Coward Tapper (1844-1872), born in Durweston but died in his twenties though not before he too had been ordained and also had married first Clara Dainty. They had a son Hugh Martin St Clair Tapper (1871-1956) and grandchild anodther Hugh Martin St Clair (query Cecil?) Tapper b. 1899 (?) and a daughter Helen Mary St Clair Tapper b. 1905.  I have much more research to do on this line though that will probably be a little way off as Im working on other things at present.  But I will happily keep you in the loop if you wish though at the moment, I'm afraid I'm a bit lost as to where the link between our Tappers might be.
What are your thoughts?
Best regards
Jane

Hi Jeff,

Sorry its taken so long top get back to you, but I'm going to try and send you the images now.

The first 3 are of the oil painting which is in deploarble condition as you can see but hopefully it will help you. I'll send some others separately. Would you please confirm you have received these ok. If not we'll have to find another way I guess. 

Jane

Hi Jeff,
Just to say, I received an alert to say you had messaged - thanks Rootsweb!
I'm very happy to hear from you. I have pictures of hime and his wife - or at least his second wife Lydia.  If you can give me a day or so, I'll see what I can dig out and attach for you. Can you tell me what your connection to Isaac Tapper is?
Best wishes, Jane Benjamin

Hello, It's me again - Rev Isaac William Salmon Tapper was my great, great Uncle - I have a fair bit of knowledge about his background if anyone is interested and yes he did have a female servant by the name of Bennet - no family stories of him fathering an illegitimate child though.
Best regards
