Marriage of Mary TAYLOR

[ctrunfree]

Hi everyone

I'm wondering if anyone could assist in finding a marriage for Mary TAYLOR, b circa 1784.  Her parents were Job TAYLOR and Eleanor, and they lived in Earl Shilton.  She may have married someone called Ballieau (phonetic).  Or not!  And she may have also been called Eleanor!

Familysearch has just 1 Mary Taylor marriage in Earl Shilton in the appropriate timeframe --

9 June 1814, Mary Taylor and Aaron Morley.

Can't see any Eleanor Taylor marriages listed.

Is this any help? Could it be her?

Hi Annie

It's a little confusing.  My 4 g grandfather Job TAYLOR (1750-bef 1812) and his wife Eleanor (surname unknown, died bef 1812) had four children all born in Earl Shilton who I believe survived infancy- Job (b 1775), Richard (b 1778, my 3g grandfather) James (b 1781) and Mary (b 1784).

What has thrown things up in the air is Job junior's will, which I recently found on Ancestry, and which I've had some help deciphering..

This document suggests the existence of a sister for Job called Eleanor, but I can't find any reference to her birth or marriage.  I was wondering if Mary could at some point have become called Eleanor?  However, the 1814 marriage of Mary which you found suggests this is an unlikely explanation.  However, Job's will seems to suggest that there is only one sister living.

I haven't been able to find a marriage for Job and his wife (Lucy?).  Perhaps he was married to some Spanish beauty while on campaign in the Peninsular (maybe I've been reading too much Bernard Cornwell!

So, where is Eleanor TAYLOR hiding!

1775 - 1784 is a timescale that would allow for the births of more than 4 children.

Hi Annie

Yes, they had at least seven, not including the elusive Eleanor. Sarah (b 1773), Richard (b 1778) and Benjamin (b 1780) and did not live long.

Hi

Job Taylor (bachelor) married Eleanor Heath (spinster) at Earl Shilton on 4th December 1771.

An Eleanor Taylor married Thomas Atkinson at St Mary, Hinckley on 21st December 1814.

Also an Eleanor Taylor (widow) married a Francis Tate at St Margaret Leicester on 29th October 1826 - Job's wife?

Do those help?

Thanks Bunnygirl!

The Job TAYLOR/Eleanor HEATH marriage is great to see.  I haven't been able to find definitive proof before, although I have seen it on people's family trees.

The Richard TAYLOR/Rebecca CHESTERTON marriage in Earl Shilton is interesting.  I have my 3g grandfather Richard TAYLOR marrying Mary BRYAN on 23 May 1816 in Kirby Mallory (both were of Earl Shilton Parish).  My 2g grandfather Joseph Taylor's christening has his mother as Mary, so I'm pretty sure that's right.  However, there's always the possibility that Richard did marry Rebecca first and he remarried after she died. I'll have a look for a death of Rebecca TAYLOR death in 1815-16.

Thanks Truebrit-missed you response just now.

The Job TAYLOR/Eleanor HEATH marriage is the father of the elusive Eleanor.

I don't think the other Eleanor's are Job snr's wife.  She appears to be deceased in Nov 1812, going by her son Job's will of that date.

The other Eleanor TAYLOR marriages are probably not Job junior's sister.  She was a married to a John Baillie by 1815.
