Any chance the 1837 son's birth was registered, or was he born before July 1st?

Kit, maybe you already know that John Taylor is in the book Men, women, and property in England, 1780-1870 by Robert John Morris?

I have no doubt this is the family you're looking for. It says that John Taylor's father, also John Taylor, made his will on 7 July 1831 and died eleven days later. The younger John received the public house in the will. It also says how he abandoned it. The extended family and businesses are listed on Union Street, Line Street, Templar Lane.

There's an awful lot more information there about the family, the businesses, the wills. Google "john taylor" bricklayer "union street" leeds and it should bubble right up to the top of the results. It starts on page 198: "Here was the world of John Taylor, builder and bricklayer."

I also see John Taylor, bricklayer, 27 Union Street, in the Transcript of the entry of "professions and trades" for Leeds in Pigot's Directory of 1829, on Genuki:

My MMMF David Crampton 1807-1872 was a mason in nearby Horsforth. Perhaps he did business with the Taylors? Something about this neighborhood rang a bell with me as soon as I saw your post. I've walked these streets on old maps looking for some branch of my family.

It seems your John Taylor's parents may have been John and Hannah. I can see a "snippet" in Google books that seems to refer to them. Robert seems to be the other son, brother to your John. (My search terms were "John Taylor" bricklayer leeds.)

Hannah may be the second wife or they didn't rush into marriage.

I found this from: http://www.daltondatabank.org/yorkshire.html

St Mary, Bishophill Junior, York 1602-1811 (SOG)
Marriages
8 Dec 1808 John Dalton witnessed marriage of John Taylor, bricklayer, and Hannah Robinson

Janet that is fantastic info. I'm off to look now.

Kate the 1837 baptism was a job lot for Tom Hall Taylor (DOB 20/6/1834) and his elder sister, Hannah Taylor (born 8/9/1830)

Oooh, that's exciting!

I don't think I would have Googled a name like John Taylor and ever expected to find anything on the right person! lol

[Kit]

I like the book Janet, I just need to get pages 202 and 203. I hate previews. I had no idea that John owned property, if only temporarily.

I wouldn't have either Merry. Sounds so simple when someone else does it.

My WorldCat website says there are no libraries in Australia that have the Men, women, and property in England, 1780-1870 by Robert John Morris. I see a couple of relatively less expensive new copies of it available for sale here:

Good job! I couldn't make it cough it all up for me. It looked to me as if these references perhaps point to a fuller listing elsewhere, what do you think?? I think the 728 and 729 are item numbers (don't think they're page numbers, though they could be). I'm curious to know what else might be out there.

If you're interested,it's available to buy (I'm tempted myself):

or

Also, the National Library of Australia (NLA) in Canberra and the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne have Thoresby Society publications, including possibly Volume 26.

How do I get a will that went through York? I can't find it on the TNA.
