There is also a family over in Holbeach that I'm fairly certain belongs with this group, but not being able to find John Tagg baptised 1745's siblings, the jury must remain out. They are: John Tagg married Esther Ward 25 Jan 1793 Holbeach Ages and dates below come from the PRS Children: Sarah born 1793 Bap 29 Jun 1809 age 16 Holbeach buried 10 Aug 1810 Esther born 9 Jul 1795 bap 11 Jul 1818 Holbeach Mary born about 1794 bap 8 Jan 1819 age 22 Gedney Up to this point father's occupation is labourer. For all entries residence is shown as Holbeach Fen End. From this point on John Tagg is a farmer, so I would assume a landowner or at least a tennant farmer William born 9 Mar 1798 bap 5 Feb 1819 Holbeach Benjamin born 12 Aug 1799 bap 5 Feb 1819 Holbeach Abraham born 5 Feb 1804 bap 5 Feb 1819 Holbeach Possibly Ann born about 1803 buried 5 Jan 1819 Esther was buried 13 May 1834 at age 60 in Holbeach John was buried 5 Feb 1819 at Holbeach aged 54 Those wonky baptism dates had me puzzled but I think I know what they were. I believe your people were Quakers. The Willmots show up on the Non-Conformist registers. I think there were Taggs, too. I discovered it quite by accident. There is an immigration record to the US for George Tagg who I am about positive was the son of John and Elizabeth Willmot Tagg: Name Arrival Date Age Gender Port of Departure Place of Origin Ship Susanna Tagg 29 Dec 1831 43 F (Female) England Ship Algonquin George Tagg 29 Dec 1831 42 M (Male) England Ship Algonquin Mary Tagg 29 Dec 1831 11 F (Female) England Ship Algonquin Tagg 29 Dec 1831 10 M (Male) England Ship Algonquin Willmot Tagg 29 Dec 1831 7 M (Male) England Ship Algonquin Eliza Tagg 29 Dec 1831 5 F (Female) England Ship Algonquin George Tagg 29 Dec 1831 2 M (Male) England Ship Algonquin Note son WILLMOT Tagg! How likely is it he's NOT Elizabeth's grandson? George became a VERY prosperous merchant in Philadelphia and there is John Tagg who naturalized in Philadelphia in 1839 (declared intent in 1837). the entry above for TAGG age 10 was a John M. born about 1820. He was not with the family but a few lines down. He matches John and susan Ringrose Tagg's son and I do not find a baptism for a son John to George and Susannah although that really doesn't mean anything and he could be their son, just missed on the manifest at first. It turns out George's wife was Susanna Mallinson. She was born 21 Jul 1787 Pontefract Yorks, daughter of John and Mary Mallinson. her birth entry shows as birth place: Yorkshire Quarterly Meeting, York, England. The Quakers call their churches Meetings. I suspect all those wonky dates are because they would have resisted having their children baptised and register at the C of E. I would go looking for the Quaker records from the Meeting. The Quakers are like the Goliath of church record keeping. They followed every little movement of the congregation's life. It may be there was a falling out at the time of those baptisms where they either left or were ejected from the Meeting and elected to have their children baptised. Or maybe they just became compliant with the law so they didn't have trouble. I do wonder if John and Elizabeth's children weren't baptised late or later as well. I have a sneaking suspicion the John married to Esther Ward was the son of Abraham and Mary Unknown Tagg or that Abraham and a second wife, or Abraham's nephew. I feel comfortable that this George is John and Elizabeth's son. Willmot ends up in Michigan. Happy time travels! Susan
