Hi Bernie, If I have the right family then by my reckoning Ann had 4 children between the Death of John and her 2nd Marriage to Arthur Lavers in 1846. As on 1841 Census Children are John - 13 - born abt 1828 Henry - 6 - born abt 1835 William - 3 - born abt 1838 Sarah - 2 - born abt 1839 Emma - 1 - born abt 1840. On 1851 Census Children are down as Emma -11 - born abt 1840 Grace - 8 - born abt 1843 Sarah - 6 - born abt 1845 Susan - 2 - born abt 1849 Can find Baptisms for Emma in 1840, Grace in 1842 and Sarah Jane in 1844. All baptised in Dodbrooke as Taylor, Mother given as Ann. Can't find a baptism for Sarah 1839 nor a burial record for her. There is a Richard Tayler buried in Dodbrooke in 1833 aged 3. Who is possibly the Richard Tailor baptised in Blackawton that Bev found. Tim Treeby DFHS 13926 On 02/02/2014 22:45, A & B Currie wrote: > Hi Tim, > Thanks.
