SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: John Bayley Tailor proposed member 16.4.1784 by Joseph Towers 2nded James West, to be sent to Mr Knight's, 57 Strand (John Knight draper Strand 1778-1823)

Presumably son of John Tayler and Sarah Bayly who married 17.7.1752 or 17.7.1751 somewhere in Suffolk (familysearch.org). From his age at burial he was born about 1752. He took an apprentice as grocer of Woodbridge 1776 (and another in 1790 at a premium of £105). His son John Bayly Tailer junior was born 22.2.1787 son of John Bayly Tailer & Elizabeth and baptised at age 44 on 3.10.1831…


Tain's

7.9.1809 seek Zoust, at Tain's &c, w. M(ary) J(ane)

Talbot

Fell, S Elwes & Talbot call (not in) 11.6.1800

The only Talbot in Godwin's diary and Godwin didn't even see him, but I could still hazard a guess on Montague Talbot DNB 1774-1831 actor. His last appearance at Drury Lane theatre was a week later on 18.6.1800 and he then removed to Ireland and married an Irish actress that autumn. Consider also Thomas Talbot DNB 1771-1853 but there were plenty of other Talbots who this could have been

Tallboys, Charlotte

According to the letter of Alexander Galloway to Richard Hodgson in Paris 24.12.1801 (Nat Arch PC 1/3535 "Ben Binns is married to my old sweetheart Charlotte Tallboys, I am sorry to say they are much distressed". I found no record of this marriage. According to the Dictionary of Irish Biography entry for John Binns, his brother Benjamin returned to Ireland about 1803 and was a plumber at Bray, co. Wicklow, then joined his brother in Philadelphia about 1817.
So who was Charlotte Tallboys? Galloway was born in London. There was a Charlotte Ann Tallboys born 9.5.1779 and bapt 29.7.1779…

John Tanner steward Friends of Parliamentary Reform 18.5.1797


Tassaert

call on Tassaert 2.7.1802 with Philips. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 as Tassaret.

Philippe Joseph Tassart 1732-1803 history painter and president of Society of Artists. See Farington's diary (e.g. vol III p795), for his reputation as an art expert which may relate to the purpose of Godwin & Phillips' call (see Miller). On GD website he has a person record and his 1796 list entry is coded to it but not the 1802 entry although the editorial notes refer to it


Tate

5.4.1810 call on Tate / 12.4.1810 C(harles) C(lairmont) on Tate / 20.5.1811 call, w. C(harles), on Tate &c / 1.6.1811 call on Tate (not seen), w.

Clearly some relationship to Charles Clairmont, maybe a trial apprenticeship or some tutoring?

Taylor

                    15.8.1824 in Norwich "I had been invited to dine with Ad: Taylor but thought it prudent not to go and I therefore accepted an invitation to dine with Will: Taylor - a very amusing afternoon - a younger brother of Austin's tribe, one Smith and another young man there - The conversation on T's part however was even to me highly exceptionable - I mean before young men - such as "Zoten Gotteslasterei und Aufruhr sind die Thure Angel des Menschlichen Lebens" (Dirty…


Taylor (Stowmarket)

Taylor's 10.9.1805 Finborgh (near Stowmarket)

Mr Taylor of Ringshall nr Stowmarket d1815 age 78, Thomas Taylor buried Stowupland 30.9.1815 age 77. Pleasance wife of Mr W Mumford of Hintlesham Priory died 12.11.1831 age 28, only dau of Mr E Taylor of Ringshall. Finborough is 2 miles west of Stowmarket, Stowupland 1 mile east of it and Ringshall 3 miles south of it, Hintlesham Priory a few miles south of Ringshall. See my entry for Mumford, Mrs. On GD website this entry is coded to John Taylor DNB 1750-1826 which is probably wrong

 

 


Taylor, Charles

call on Cha. Taylor 12.7.1804

Perhaps Charles Taylor DNB 1756-1823. According to the DNB he was a deeply conservative man but in 1801 the London Library was moved to his premises at 108 Hatton Garden where it remained for several years, which may have been relevant to the purpose of Godwin's call


Taylor, Francis

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: Francis Taylor of Hull proposed member 15.11.1782 by Jeremiah Batley 2nded John Jebb. Provided constituency info re: Hull, Beverley & haydon, offered to cover Scarborough & Malton as well

Francis Taylor = Bridlington 27.12.1791 Mary Marshall botp by lic wits Eliza Marshall, John Walmsly. Marriage register didn't state if bach or wid but licence said age 21 and upwards, I found no other record of his age.

In the 1807 entry above GD website has mistranscribed frere as pere, the two are not that different in Godwin's handwriting. So that entry must have been John Taylor DNB 1779-1863, Richard Taylor's only older brother. The entries in 1803 and 1817 have not been coded, as other similar…


Taylor, John

see Poland Street 1 to 9 & 49 to 62 in London Addresses dataset

John Taylor 1780 leaseholder of 1 to 5 Poland St (the leaseholder by 1789 was Alexander Scott (QV*)). Also a John Taylor leaseholder of 23 Poland St. A very common name but I wondered if this may have been the oculist  John Taylor DNB 1724-1787.
