Just want to pick a few brains for some good idea's as to how I can look further into the WOODMAN family. I have JAMES WOODMAN who married OLIVE ?? about 1818.. Then everything gets very sad. They had 3 daughters (the first 1819 ,who all died before 1825. The last baby a boy HENRY WOODMAN survived. The father James died 1825 the year Henry was born and the mother Olive died 1828. All 4 children were baptised at St Marys, Harmondsworth, which I have learned, did christenings and burials but not weddings. Try as I might, even with the help of a kind gentleman who went into Uxbridge Record centre to search, there does not seem to be a marriage for the parents. As the surviving child, Henry could have been put into an institution if no relatives took him in. Has anyone any good advice as to where I might start looking if Henry was put into an institution? I'm hoping that there might be someone else who has researched this family line and has more answers than I have succeeded in finding. Kind regards. April. New Forest

Hello April It was St Margarets at Uxbridge that didn't do weddings until it became the parish church in 1827. St Marys at Harmondsworth covered all events - baptisms, marriages, and burials.
