My index says she married Edward WOAD (wid) at Althorpe 29 Nov 1785

Marriage register isn't clear, but certainly says Edward (2nd on right)

Either Edward Woad was a very unlucky man or there were two with the same name. as Freereg has a marriage 1/8/1785 between Edward Woad, widower and Susan Mason, widow, at Luddington.

If that is the right Isabella Walker then a possible marriage for her parents. (taken from Freereg)
William Walker. widower,  & Mary Thompson. spinster, 26 May 1766, at Belton in Axholme.

Thank you both! I think I may have mixed up William as a spouse. Is there a record showing William as Edward and Isabella's son? His descendants are Ward so I had a hard time finding him.
Is there anywhere I might search for ancestors of Edward Woad?
I'm excited to have found them!

The christening of Edward & Isabella's children, including William, show up on familysearch.org also freereg.org.uk and possibly on lincstothepast.com , all of which are free sites.

Thanks again. I am looking right now at Edward's marriage certificate. It states he was indeed a widower. I'm thinking he was a tad bit unlucky as you said. lol
