James Suddy Taylor aged 27, Free - Bricklayer, wed at St John's Launceston on 7 Sep 1824 to Eliza Kerrison aged 15, Free, daughter of Stephen Kerrison and Mary Long.
Family historians have not identified James's life before the date of his marriage.
The Marriage Certificate makes it obvious that James was not known to be a Convict - in a society that was very particular about such details. The Taylor family were living at Balfour St, Launceston, Tasmania when their first child, Eliza, was born.
Eliza Taylor 28 Dec 1842 - 18 Oct 1917, wed on 18 Oct 1862 at Maryborough, Vic, to George Hancock, 9 Mar 1841 - 15 Sep 1926, son of John Stevens Hancock and Caroline Kerrison, and so was a first cousin of Eliza. Both are buried in the Dunolly Cemetery
