Samuel Taylor (1851 – 20th March 1881)
Samuel was the son of John and Charlotte Taylor. He was the third child of at least eight children born to the couple. He was christened John Samuel, but appears to have been known as Samuel through his life. The family were raised at 49 Burleigh Street, where John Taylor was a fishmonger. On the 1871 census Samuel was working as a fishmonger in the family business. He doesn’t appear to have married, and died just before the 1881 census.
Sarah Lavinia Parker (nee Taylor) (1848 – 25th September 1927)
Sarah Lavinia was the eldest daughter and second child of John and Charlotte Taylor. She married James Parker in 1868 and they had ten children six of whom died early. In 1871 the family were living at 65 Newmarket Road, and James was working as a fishmonger, by 1881 he was working as a painter. In 1891 the family were still at 65 Newmarket Road and James was a painter and glazier.
By the 1891 census James had changed direction and was a greengrocer and Sarah was helping in the business. They ran this from 65 Newmarket Road and later 150 Newmarket Road. Sarah died in 1927 aged 78 and was a widow when she died.
