"William" "Nash"
William Nash born in 1801 left Liverpool, England and arrived in Jan 11, 1842, at the Port of New York on the ship - Scotland-
Directly below him on the manifest is Elizabeth Nash age: 15 and William Nash age:10. They are on the first page of 3-page manifest and are listed as Numbers 13,14,15.
Hello! Which is correct? I see here that William Nash born 1801 left Liverpool and arrived in Jan 11, 1842 at the port of New York. In a later message you say that he arrived on January 11, 1843. I believe that 1843 is the correct date. Can you confirm? (My last message had so many typos I am writing you again. I live in France, am 93 years old, and am trying to nail down our family history before nobody is left who remembers our grandparents – my brother has lost his memory and my older sister is dead.) Thanks so much for your messages!
Rechecking the records the ship Scotland arrived in the Port of New York on Jan 11, 1842
No ships arrived in the Port of New York on Jan 11, 1843
Sylvia W posting is correct, William Jr. went back to England that explains his arrival on Jan 9, 1843.
I tried to confirm William Jr. birth on Ancestry
All England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 results for William Nash
I search the years from 1831-1833 the was 15 births for William Nash Father: William Nash but no birth mother by the name Harriet is listed.
I like to add Congratulations for your attention to the facts and your pursuit of them.
Thank you for your research and clarity on the arrival in New York of the Scotland in 1842. Regarding the births of William Nash, Father William Nash his birth mother was not Harriett. She was his father's third wife who must have brought up the children after the deaths of the first two. His first wife was(Ann Cragg, mother of Elisabeth Ann Nash. The second was William's mother, Ann Taylor. When she died he married Harriett (I do not have her last name). All three were born and married in England. This information fortunately was written in a letter from an old aunt in 1960 ; she has some precise dates, but not all, that must have been taken from a family bible.
Can you tell me if among the 15 William Nash there is one whose mother is Ann Taylor, and if so, where in England? Many thanks again for your precious help.
FYI
The maiden name of Harriet (18940) and Mary Ann (1841)’s mother was GILLMAN …
Thank you! Do you also have the date and place of their marriage?
In case you don't have William's baptism:
Amazing! Thank you very much for this privileged view of the documents that support your information. My own direct line is not William Taylor, who must have been a very mature and competent boy to return to England to get his father's wife and his younger siblings, but Samuel Nash, his young brother. Would there be any similar documents for the marriage of Ann Taylor and William Nash, and baptism certificate for Samuel and Hepsibah? I am curious as well to know if they were always in Nottingham.
The following information was found at:
https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61840/
The marriage date is June 7, 1831
Marriage place: Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England
Parish: St. Mary
Baptism for Samuel Nash
Baptism for ELIZABETH NASH
I am curious as well to know if they were always in Nottingham.
In the June 1841 census, the family is living in Broad street, Nottingham (Parish of St Mary)
William Nash sr (abt 40y, occupation: Tinman) was NOT born in Nottinghamshire cty, but apparently all the other family members were born in Nottinghamshire cty.
Living with them are 2 young apprentices and also an an “Elizabeth Taylor” (abt 50y) … I’m wondering whether she could have been his (former) mother-in-law?
Would there be any similar documents for the marriage of Ann Taylor and William Nash, and baptism certificate for Samuel and Hepsibah?
FYI Hepsibah/ Hephzibah is “Elizabeth” on her (apparent) baptism document. I’m wondering whether both Elizabeths were named after their respective grandmothers and that Elizabeth #2 might have had “Hepsibah” as second name.
1831 marriage document between an Ann Taylor and William Nash
PS The “National Burial Index For England & Wales” contains the 1836 burial of an “Anne Nash” (born abt 1804) in Nottingham. Paysite FindMyPast is one of the locations that has this record …

You made my day! thank you for the amazing research. If William Nash was not born in Nottingham county (Robin Hood! Sherwood Forest!) are there records for where he was born – and when? With regard to the 1841 census, most likely the Elisabeth Taylor is William's mother in law – perhaps the house had belonged to her. She lost her daughter who died young with three surviving children after 5 years of marriage and would stay to help even if new wife Harriet is now there and two more children.
There are too many possibilities for a William Nash, but maybe you are still interested in the following events:
Marriage date: 29 Dec 1825
Groom:William NASH, Bachelor
Groom abode: Nottingham
Bride forename:Jane CRAGG, Spinster
Bride abode: New Sleaford
Witnesses: Mary CARTWRIGHT & Robert CRAGG
County: Lincolnshire
Place: New Sleaford
Church name: St Denys

It seems that William and Jane NASH had 3 children baptized in the same church as William, Samuel and Hepzibah:
Elizabeth Ann born 28 Sep 1826, bap 29 Oct 1826
Mary born 29 Nov 1827, bap 6 Apr 1828
William born 5 Mar 1829, bap 16 Aug 182
Could it be that - like his first wife - William Nash originated from (New) Sleaford?
I found 2 possibilities (there could be more):
#1 - On 24 Apr 1800 a William Nash was baptized in the Henland Zion Independent Chapel in Sleaford.
Parents: William and Lucey Nash
#2 - On 3 Mar 1803 twins William and George Nash was baptized in St Denys church in Sleaford.
Parents: Joseph and Lydia Nas
William b 1803 will die a few days after his baptism, but his parents will baptize another William in 1804. I believe that he can be found in the 1851 census, so he’s not your guy …
FYI a Jane Cragg was baptised on 15 Oct 1800 by her parents Robert and Elizabeth
Location: St Denys Church, Sleaford
Hello! I believe that the William Nash I am looking for is the one who was baptised in Sleaford on 24 April 1800 as this corresponds closely to family records. I did not have the parents. He married Jane Cragg, also family records, but I do not have the details you give, for which I thank you. However, I have only the record for their child Elizabeth Ann who came with him to America. Mary 1827 and William 1829 probably did not survive, nor did their mother Ann. Awful. The next William will be William Taylor, son with his second wife and with whom he came to American on the Scotland.
It is always a good idea not to depend on transcripts only, so you might want to drop into a Family History Centre to have a look at their Sleaford church records …
i.e. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bsubject_id%3A396640%20%2Bavailability%3AOnline
e.g. the collection “Parish registers for Sleaford, 1653-1964” contains films #989862 and #8080438 which should have images for William’s 1825 marriage.
