Help needed with Mountsorrel brick wall

[jacktaylor]

Hello everyone,i wonder if anyone could give me a hand to find the parents of John Taylor born 1754 in Mountsorrel,Leicestershire?
I have been stuck at this point for years!,Ive searched births,marriages and burials for surrounding areas but nothing,the only thing i know is the father was also called John Taylor but no clues for the wife.
One possibility is John Taylor born 1716 in Mountsorrel but i thought that maybe he would be to old?

Thank you,i would be very grateful for any advise or assitance

Hello Jack, welcome to the forum.

I doubt it will make much difference (!), but perhaps you could tell us a bit more about your John Taylor - when and where he married, and when and where he was buried, plus how you know the name of his father. Do you now his occupation?

Thanks.

Hi Merry,Thank you

Yes sorry probably wont help but all i know is he married Sarah Willows 1780 in Mountsorrel.I havent found a burial for him but John and Sarah had the following children:
Mary Taylor 1782
John Taylor 1786
Elizabeth 1789
William 1792
All born Mountsorrel

John Taylor 1786 and his descendants stayed in Mountsorrel until around the 1880s

Thanks

Here are some thread on other sites about the same family, just so we don't go over the same ground:

The John Taylor born 1716 would not be too old to father a child in 1754! Do you have details of any other children baptised at Mountsorrel before and after 1754 with father's name John Taylor?

And do you have the names of the witnesses at John and Sarah's wedding, please?

Findmypast's Leicestershire Wills & Probate Records lists entries for John Taylor of Mountsorrell 1743 and Thomas Taylor of Mountsorrell 1724. I haven't viewed the entries on there as I don't have a sub, but I don't think it will give full details of the wills or admons anyway; you would probably need to view them at Leicestershire Archives or order copies from there. They might possibly have some clues.

The image for the 1743 will is there. It is an Administration (with Inventory) in which Ann Taylor, widow, is named.

Thanks, Elizabeth.

The other will is there too. Thomas is the brother of a John Taylor.
