(My great-grandfather) was christened in WADDESDON the 14 October 1849, and married CAROLINE TAYLOR, on the 20th December 1870 in WADDESDON, she was the daughter of HENRY TAYLOR and SARAH RIDGEWAY, I think that Henry was a rat catcher.

William had 3 children, They were, Harry, George and Elizabeth
CAROLINE TAYLOR was christened on the 25th July 1852
