1838 The marriage of William Taylor and Elizabeth Wiseman took place in the West Bromwich district on June 12th 1838 (West Bromwich 18 675) and was at the "Parish Church of Handsworth".  This is assumed therefore to be St. John's. No ages or addresses are given on the marriage certificate. The marriage was an 'established church' marriage, by banns.  Witnesses were Samuel and Margaret Lacey. Elizabeth's father is Thomas Wiseman, he appears to be a Steel Toy Maker.

1841 A son, William Henry Taylor, is born on 12th August 1841 at 7 Court, Lower Hurst Street, in the district of St. Martin, Birmingham. William Henry's father is William Taylor on the birth certificate, a Cabinet maker, his mother is Elizabeth Taylor nee Wiseman.

1848 Charles Frederick Taylor is born to the couple on 18th April at 107 Cheapside, (Deritend & Bordesley), Aston, Birmingham. Father is shown as William Taylor, Cabinet maker, mother is Elizabeth Taylor formerly Wiseman.

1850 Amelia Jane Taylor is born to the couple.

1851 The family are at 141 Moseley Road, Bordesley, Aston, Warwickshire. This is confirmed by the presence of William H Taylor (son) aged 9 as he should be.  William (father) is a Cabinet Maker, as on the marriage certificate (both his own and eventually of WHT). Note that he is a master Cabinet maker, employing 4 men and one boy.  There are two further children Charles Frederick Taylor aged 2, born Birmingham, Amelia Jane Taylor, 10 months, b. Birmingham. Sarah Green, aged 9 is a visitor. she is thought to be Elizabeth's niece, the daughter of her sister.

There are no further records traced for Elizabeth Wiseman and it is thought that she died at some time after the 1851 census. There was an outbreak of Cholera in 1853 in Birmingham. A GRO search for Elizabeth's death is currently in progress.

William Taylor, remarried, to Sarah Ann Turley on 27th November, 1856 at Birmingham.
