Hi Pam, My TAYLORs don't have any connection with South Yorkshire as far as I know. As I said I'm stuck at 1720, although there were TAYLORs in Danby Wiske area, near Lovesome Hill, in the 1500s. I just need to find a link. Probably like many others, my TAYLORs first names were limited to John, Robert, James, Joseph, which makes research very difficult, if not impossible.
