The witnesses' names might possibly help as they could be relatives, but of course they might be no help at all. Are you able to get to Leicestershire Archives to look at records there, or is it far away from you?

The marriage entry is on FMP.....

The witnesses are John Shenton and Bryan Moore (possibly a serial witness)

Other details are: both otp, banns, both made mark, witnesses both signed, 26 Dec 1780 at Chapelry of Mountsorrel. Marriage celebrated by John Simpson, curate.

The register is very neatly completed.

I think the Chapelry of Mountsorrel was/is in the parish of Barrow upon Soar.

Well, there is a John Shenton / Elenor Talor marriage 25 Sep 1737 at Lutterworth, but could well just be a coincidence since Taylor is such a common name and since Lutterworth isn't particularly near to Mountsorrel. But there is the burial of an Eleanor Shenton, wife of John, 19 Jul 1777 at Mountsorrel, so that makes it more likely the marriage is relevant.

Mountsorrel baptisms with father named John, 1734-1774:

William 1735 John and Ann

Richard 1738 John and Ann

John 1754 John

Have you looked at other nearly parishes to see if you can find any other baptisms that might fit the gap between 1738 and 1754?

The 1765 (19 Nov) baptism you mentioned is for John the son of William and Ann Taylor, not the son of John and Ann Taylor. (at least, that's the only match I could find in 1765)

yes thats right son of William,i got muddled up.he would have been grandson of John and Ann
It would be nice if they where the parents i was looking for -John Taylor and Ann Jarratt but i was put off by the gap in birth years.
I have looked through lots of nearby parish records and they are the closest that i have came across

The John who was husband of Ann, and father of William and Richard, could be the one who died in 1743, since Elizabeth said his admon named Ann Taylor, widow (post #7 above).
