"William" "Nash"
"William" "Nash"
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

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
