I should try Halesworth. There are TAYLORs from Halesworth in Great
Yarmouth in 1851:
Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace
Henry TAYLOR Head M 40 M Haircutter &c (master) Halesworth-SUF
Matilda TAYLOR Wife - 32 F --- Beccles-SUF
Walter TAYLOR Son - 9 M Scholar Halesworth-SUF
Herbert TAYLOR Son - 6 M Scholar Halesworth-SUF
Sarah FOYSTER Vist U 30 F Household servant Beccles-SUF
Ann CRANE Serv U 18 F Household servant Burgh-NFK
Address: King Street, Great Yarmouth
Census Place: Great Yarmouth Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
PRO Reference: HO/107/1806 Folio: 106 Page: 45

By the way, Lower Union Street is in Torquay, not Newton Abbot. It's
not surprising that people are muddled, because LDS have put the
Registration District as part of the address. In this case, it is
even more confusing, because most people don't know that 'Tormoham' is
a parish in Torquay.

Hope this helps.

Maria, I have a Maria who was married to an Edward TAYLOR they were my
3x Gt. Grandparents.
> Apart from Edward's date of baptism and then the baptism of their
(possibly) only child Henry in 1826 at Brandeston in Suffolk they have
disappeared. It is a slim chance that this Maria 'just might' and I
stress 'just' might be the one.
