1851 image definitely says "Woodhouse" for Mary's birthplace.

In case it is relevant
Leicester Herald 05 December 1835

'To John Bradford, servant to the late George Watkinson Esq of Woodhouse, for having worked with him for 40 years, has had 4 children ...£2

Sorry I cannot read all of this so it may not be Woodhouse, Leicestershire

ADDED
It is referring to the will of George Watkinson

Sorry, lanhols, but I disagree with you.  There are clear links to Bradford's (including John's) in Woodhouse although nothing in baptisms.   I would suggest that Mary and any siblings were baptised in a non-conformist church whose records are not available online.

Indeed, another John Bradford bc.1797 buried 27/1/1828 Non-conformist burial Woodhouse proving a non-conformist link.
