I have a number of books that belonged to Nathan Taylor - one of them is a 1712 edition of The Imitation of Christ and on one of the inside plain pages the names of the previous owners are written. I am trying to use the information to help with the family tree but can't read the writing. I think it reads November 8th (?) 1806 then (or Thom?) Dyod (died?) Mr William Taylor of Ormsbrsby (?) His Book 1806. Nathan Taylor his book December 26th 1846. Nathan was born in Stoke Prior so I assume the place must be local to there or somewhere in the Birmingham area as most of the family did not move far. Albert Manger Taylor mentions family connections in Redditch and Alcester and some family are in Oldbury but Ormsbrsby (?) is a mystery.
Can anyone help - the nearest I found using the internet was Ombersley in Worcestershire.
