Elizabeth: This is absolutely amazing! What a wonderful site. You have some of my ancestors in there, with details I didn't have too. I did all my research on this side of the family in 1986 and haven't gone any further, but I am descended from all the following people who were all in Tetbury in 1735: 1) Richard Man and Sarah Bayly through his son Thomas and his second wife Mary Cox |
1718 entries 
|
| 2) John and Mary Cox Daughter Mary Cox married Thomas Mann 3) Samuel Browning |
|
Parents Thomas and Elizabeth were already dead (I didn't know that) |

but Samuel Browning was a minor - that must be him aged 18 living with Isaac and Rebecca in 1735. He married Elizabeth English in 1842. I didn't find the baptism of Isaac, and it seems neither did you, but he is most likely to be Samuel's uncle. 4) John and Hester English |
Hester's burial, Dec 28, 1746 Hannah, Relict of John, burial, Jan 8, 1770

| Daughter Elizabeth married Samuel Browning. I didn't know who Elizabeth's parents were. I had so many surnames to look up on my one trip to Gloucester Record Office in 1986 that I must have missed following up this one despite writing down names as fast as I could go. To complete the picture Thomas and Mary MANN had a son William (1753-1786 or 7) |
|
| Samuel and Elizabeth BROWNING had a daughter Betty |
|
| Betty Browning married William Mann in 1773. |
Betty's mother died 1786, and is buried by the Parish
|
| Their son William MANN (1780 to after 1851) married Sarah or Sally COOK (about 1775 to after 1851). William and Sarah moved to Malmesbury, Wiltshire (a whole five miles away!) and were seen no more in Tetbury. The rest of the history of the WOODWARD family takes place in Malmesbury. William and Sally's daughter Jane MANN married William WHITE in 1841 and their daughter Elizabeth WHITE married my great-grandfather, George WOODWARD in 1873, and that's where the Woodwards came in. The Woodwards stayed in Malmesbury from 1700 until the 1920s, when my father got a job in Cirencester (a huge step of twelve miles from Malmesbury and ten from Tetbury!) which was where I was born. I couldn't find Sarah Cook's baptism, but her parents were probably Thomas COOK and Sarah BALL, and these families too were in Tetbury in 1735. I was so pleased to find this page. Words fail me (well reading the above you can't take that literally). Regards, Tony in Ottawa, Canada |
