I have william b 1826 eglingham Northumberland married to mary railston 1830, but I can't decide who William's parents are there is a Moses Taylor in Eglinham but also a william, I don't seems to be able to work out which is the parents I would like to get a birth cert but not sure which is right one

Their marriage certificate will give you the name of William's father.
The GRO reference for the marriage is 2nd quarter of 1848, Alnwick 25, 261 - William Taylor & Mary Railstons.

You won't be able to get a birth certificate for William, because he was born before Civil Registration began, but you might be lucky and find the record of his baptism.

Hi there
I had a look for you and there are not many William Taylors born 1826
in the Eglingham area.  I also found the Moses and Jane as parents and
think if you do get the marriage certificate for William and Mary that his
Dad is this Moses.
William Taylor born 7th April 1826, christened 7th May 1826
parents Moses and Jane
I looked for Mary Railston and found one and think this is her
Mary Railston c 10th October 1830 at Alnwick with
parents Andrew and Mary.
I looked into the children of William and he does have a son called
Andrew and of course a daughter called Mary.
I did notice that by time the 1871 census was out poor Mary has
disappeared leaving William a widower and with 8 children the oldest
being Margaret aged 20. The birth place for William and the children
is Eglingham and for Mary senior was Alnwick, so certain this is
your family.
The only other William born around 1826 in Eglingham  was a
William Taylor born 3rd February 1827 with parents Richard and Eleanor
Do you know any of Williams siblings as this Richard could be Williams brother??

Thanks you guys, I think too that it is the Moses one too.  I will order marriage cert, Im sure its not the Richard one I think I dismissed this as I found a census showing a jane at 91yrs living in the house with Richard and thought it didn;t add up and Im sure I came across a census where William should have been with Richard but is with a wife somewhere else, its mad you look at so many things and it could be so easy to get mixed up,  ancestory is soooooooooooooooo  adictive, I need to be doing work not delving into the past anyone got the same problem, ha ha
