Could some kind person please let me know what the entry says for Enoch Taylor and Alice B Taylor in Atlantic City, New Jersey He was born about 1862 and she about 1867. I'm hoping they may be this couple from the London marriage record:

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921
Name: Harriet Alice Beatrice Richardson
Age: 26
18 Aynhol Road
Estimated birth year: abt 1867
Spouse Name: Enoch Elijah Taylor
Spouse Age: 32
18 Aynhol Road
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 2 Nov 1893
Parish: St Matthew, West Kensington
County: Middlesex
Borough: Hammersmith and Fulham

I also see in the New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 that there is an Enoch Taylor so I wonder if this could also be him.
