Hi Anne There seems to be more than one John Tayleour around at the time, but most earlier baptism records in Fordyce don't show the wife's name so it's not so easy to untangle the families. But a Cecily Tayleour was bpt 1718 in Fordyce to John Tayleour and Janet Thain: she married William Clark of Slogmahole Fordyce in 1744 and they had a family there. I don't know where the Tayleours lived but presumably nearby. My Geddes family who also farmed at Slogmahole eventually took over the Clark's farm at Slogmahole: since they seemed to have lived beside each other for some 60 or 70 years, I've been trying to discover whether any of the Clarks of Slogmahole married any of the Geddeses of Slogmahole, but that's another story I suppose. There is one relevant Margaret Tayleor recorded in the IGI (from the OPR), bpt 14-Aug-1700 to John Tayleour. She could be a sister of Cecily. Perhaps if you checked the actual OPR you'd be able to untangle the families by grouping baptisms by place names - if yours turns up at Slogmahole, I can at least give you info about the Cecily line.
