TAYLOR

[SOS53]

I am looking for info on Thomas Taylor B1785.  The only information I have is his son Abel Taylor B1809 in Yardley, but I cannot find any more of where Thomas was born, hence I cannot get any further back. I know also that Abel married Ann Hall from Long Compton and lived in Bickenhill. Any help would be appreciated.  Many thanks  Carol.

I cannot see a baptism for Abel on family search, the only one is 1810, St Philips Birmingham?
However I note that your Abel died in Meriden in 1853, by coincidence another died Aston in 1854, which may possibly be the one above.

The other problem you may have is that although the 1851 census states he was born in Yardley, Warwickshire the 1841 census states he was not born in the county of Warwickshire and of course Yardley is/was in Worcestershire depending on your address!

On family search it does show others on census records born Yardley around the same time.

I know this does not help much.

Colin, I think Abel is the one in 1810 at St Philips. I know that George(my gt grandfather) who was his son did move to Birmingham and certainly did live in Aston - 2 Lichfield Road where he had a shop so its a possibility he was living there.  The other ones you mention in Yardley - are they Taylors and do they show the parents as Thomas Taylor/Sarah Stringer?  Many thanks Carol
