My husband's mother was a WOOLMAN from Leicester whose ancestors were at both Semeeton Westerby and Kibworth Beauchamp. The late Clifton WOOLMAN in the US did a remarkable job tracking Leicestershire Woolman from about 1570 onward. I didn't check for your names, but you can have a look at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mydickfamily/woolman_html/ woolman4.htm My husband's line was through Samuel WOOLMAN/Joanne SHIPLEY; a distant cousin in the UK provided some pauper's orders against the couple; it's been fascinating seeing how the descendants moved into the US and Southern Cross.

On checking my database I have found a few queries regarding children with the same names & to whom they are married. These differencies affect the generation born in the 1770's so it can be difficult to confirm the accuracy of data, especially where marriages do not give parents names, & only the father's name is recorded for baptisms/christenings in the Parish Records. For example a John WOOLMAN married Elizabeth FRENCH on 21 december 1802. Is this John the son of William WOOLMAN & Ann GREEN who was christened 25 October 1773, or the son of John WOOLMAN & Anne NEAL who was christened 8 November 1778. OR/ is this the John WOOLMAN who married Mary COX on 15 February 1801. There also appears to be a conflict of names for a William WOOLMAN b.c.1750 son of Jeptha WOOLMAN & Anne GOODMAN (his first wife) who is shown as marrying a Mary HODGKINSON (HODGKIN) or Ann GREEN. The family trees published on Ancestry are contradictory also. Any help with this would be most welcome.

Hi Karin Thank you for the access to the WOOLMAN site which I found a very interesting read. It is very impressive but I, like John WOOLMAN, would like to know the origin of the data if at all possible. Is there any record for the research? I do have the Parish Records & Census Records but some of the data differs slightly. I also have a connection through the SHIPLEYs of Leicestershire. Your help is greatly appreciated.
