Hi Bernie, Only possible death of a John Taylor is one in Sep Q 1837 - RD Kingsbridge - Vol 9 - p 180. According to FMP a John Taylor aged 30 is buried in Dodbrooke 17 Sep 1837. So even though you still don't know what parish he was from you at least have an idea of when he was born. Assuming this is your John. So you probably need to go through most of the parishes around Dodbrooke/Blackawaton see http://www.our4bears.net/index.htm for more info.

He [John TAYLOR] was buried in Dodbrooke on the 17th Sep 1837 aged 30 yrs. Also a Thomas TAYLOR of Dodbrooke was buried 5 dec 1839 aged 7 yrs 4 mths For what it is worth, I am leaning towards the parents of John being John and Ann who chr Charlotte Ann at Dodbrooke on abt the 25 Sep 1806 [entry very smudgy], she was born 1 Sep 1792. If the parents were so tardy in baptising Charlotte at such a late date, then maybe John was not christened at all Bev -------------------------------------------------- From: "Tim Treeby (Genealogy)" <genealogy@ttenterprises.co.uk> Sent: Monday, February 03, 2014 7:54 AM To: <devon@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [DEV] John Taylor - Crowd Sourcing > Hi Bernie, > Only possible death of a John Taylor is one in Sep Q 1837 - RD > Kingsbridge - Vol 9 - p 180. > According to FMP a John Taylor aged 30 is buried in Dodbrooke 17 Sep 1837. > So even though you still don't know what parish he was from you at least > have an idea of when he was born. > Assuming this is your John. > > So you probably need to go through most of the parishes around > Dodbrooke/Blackawaton > see http://www.our4bears.net/index.htm for more info. > > Tim Treeby > DFHS 13926 > > On 02/02/2014 19:13, A & B Currie wrote: >> Greetings, >> >> As there seem to be magicians who can pull ancestors out of a hat, I >> would >> welcome any suggestions on my mystery man. >> >> John Taylor married Ann Bellett, 19 July 1829 in Blackawton. >> >> John and Ann Taylor baptised Thomas 1832, Richard Henry, 1834, William >> 1838. >> >> William's birth cert gives father as John, informant was Sally Bellett, >> Aunt. >> >> Ann Taylor baptised Emma Ann Bellett Taylor 1840 >> >> 1841 Ann is a widow in Dodbrooke >> >> That is all that I know of John - my GG Grandfather. >> >> In trembling anticipation, >> >> Bernie >> > ------------------------------------------ > The DEVON-L mailing list is co-sponsored by GENUKI/Devon > ( http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/ ) > and > the Devon FHS (http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/ ) > List archive for Devon can be found at > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/DEVON/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > DEVON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message > > > ----- > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2012.0.2247 / Virus Database: 3684/6553 - Release Date: 02/02/14 >

Hi Tim, Thanks. I had discounted this one as, if it is 'my' John, then who is the father of Emma born C. 1840 without being registered? Mind you, who is the father of Sarah, born 1844? I know that the English Death Cert gives very little, but I may have to cough up and hope that the informant ties in somehow. I'll check out that link too.
