Lewis Woodcock/Elizabeth Cort family Leicester
« on: Tuesday 19 April 11 04:19 BST (UK) »
One of my grandmothers, Mary Woodcock (born abt 1780), married Benjamin Patrick in the St Margaret church in Leicester in 1801.  Their children were baptised in the Bishop street Wesleyan church.  On one of the entries it says Mary's parents were a Lewis Woodcock and Elizabeth Cort.

Can anyone help me find Lewis Woodcock's marrige and the births of their kids if possible?

I've checked the IGI but they don't seem to be there.

Thanks for your help! Laverdiere

Thank you for the look up! 

It's interesting because I just got hold of Lewis Woodcock of Caldecott Rutland's will--he doesn't list my Mary Woodcock but she would have been in South Africa at the time--as he was a widower perhaps she was his daughter by his first wife...?

Today I bought a book of Psalms set to music which has a hand written page by Lewis Woodcock, who it says "played the bassoon in Caldecott church for " a great number of  years". Researching the book which dates from around 1750, I came across this page and thought it could be of interest...
