2.4214 MARGARET HELLARD, baptised at Langtoft 20 Jun 1698 and buried there 5 Jan 1778. Married at Langtoft 24 Aug 1731 John Taylor, farmer of Langtoft and Wold Newton, and a great-nephew of Jane Taylor who married Thomas Hellard. He was baptised at Langtoft 8 Mar 1697/8 and died at Sherburn in January 1780 and was buried in Langtoft 27 Jan 1780, the only son of Francis Taylor, Gent., of Langtoft by his first wife Mary Ogle of Kirby Grindalyth (died 1697/8) - probably all Quakers. They had issue:-

2.42141 MARY TAYLOR, Born in 1732 at Thwing.  She married in 1758 at Langtoft, Charles Rowbotham a Carpenter from Scarborough. 

It seems only one of their two daughters, Margaret Rowbotham may have survived childhood and she was to marry Robert Parkinson in the 1780's.   When Mary Hellard Brown died in 1797 she left money to Margaret's son Charles Parkinson, a minor.  She may not have had other issue and it was probably this Charles who went on to marry in 1816 Frances Maynard (died 1858) at Flamborough and have children and other descendants at Scarborough.  He is described as a wine merchant.

2.42142 SARAH TAYLOR, baptised Wold Newton 12 Feb 1737/8 and buried in Sherburn 1813, She married Peter Owston, a farmer and Carpenter of Langtoft and Sherburn, born at Sherburn in 1740 and buried at Sherburn in 1823. They had with other issue:
