Headstone - Mary Jane, Harriet Lucy, Ann & Emma Taylor
Description
Broken off and partially delaminated upper part of the headstone of the Taylor family: the mother and siblings of Elizabeth Brown Hartliffe (ID 655), and originally next to the Hartliffe headstone in the South Nave Yard. Ann Brown (1780-1828) had married Daniel Taylor, a joiner, at Sculcoates in 1806. She is buried with her infant daughters Mary Jane (1816), Harriet Lucy (1818-19), Emma (1822-46) and six infants, probably including a previous Emma (1821).
