I'm looking for various Thomas Taylors (sometimes called Thomas Syner, Synar, Signor, Cynor etc.) buried in Broseley / Benthall prior to 1816. There would appear to be no monumental inscriptions recorded for St. Leonards / All Saints Broseley - is there a graveyard still there and does anyone know if the graves go back this far?

Broseley St Leonard's
Hi Peter,
There is some information here about All Saints Broseley (St Leonard's)
Apparently the registers go back to 1570, and are available in the local libraries, I would check with Broseley Local History Society
They have published an interesting book on their website; called "Broseley and Its Surroundings" which has some MI's but later than 1816, I think - I just had a quick look ...

Taylors
Paul,
Thanks for the link to the article it's very interesting. I have all the details from the online registers (which are not entirely accurate by the way) but at one point I have five Thomas Taylors in Broseley at the same time and working out which one died when is a headache. I was hoping that age at death from MI information might help considerably - hence my request about the graveyard.

Benthall
Yes, looked Benthall, Jackfield, Astley Abbotts and Broseley Baptist. It's surprising that the biggest church in the area doesn't seem to have MIs recorded anywhere.

Taylors
Thank you for the kind offer. I too intend to pay a visit. At the moment I am looking for the death of Thomas Taylor in January 1739/40 - it would be so helpful to know how old he was when he died. I have a copy of an inventory so I know he owned a clay pipe shop in Broseley. The chances of finding older generations I know must be remote but you never know. I believe they lived between Broseley and Benthall.
