Can you be a bit more precise about the possibe marriage date please.

Was Mary Woodcock born in 1785 to this couple as I cannot see her baptism on the IGI.

 Lewis Woodcock a widower, married Mary Simons (born about 1760) at the St Mary Leicester church in 15 SEP 1785

I'm trying to determind if his first wife was an Elizabeth Cort (Mary was born about 1780 and married Benjamin Patrick Leicester st margaret...Patrick kids were baptized weslyn)

According to his will he had the following children (igi for christening/marriages):
1.   Thomas Woodcock of Leicester
2.   Catherine Tilley (wife of William Tilley of Cottingham, Northamptonshire)—their children: Joseph (21 March 1818), Sarah, Mary (28 Aug 1820)
3.   John Woodcock of Middleton, Northamptonshire
4.   Maria Sculthorpe (wife of Joseph Sculthorpe of Great Easton, Leicester—married Joseph Sculthorpe on 4 Jun 1818 in Caldecott, Rutland
5.   Robert Woodcock of Great Easton, Leicester

6.   Lewis Woodcock of Caldecott Rutland (christened 21 March 1789  Caldecott,Rutland,England)
7.   Woodcock girl 28 July 1790  Caldecott,Rutland,England  (Family Search Extraction not will)
8.   Sarah Woodcock of Caldecott, Rutland, spinster (christened 9 October 1791 Caldecott,Rutland,England) 
9.   Simons Woodcock of Caldecott Rutland (christened 4 February 1794 Caldecott,Rutland,England)  married Frances Wright on 18 Oct 1832 Caldecott
10.   Rhoda Ashby (the wife of John Ashby of Rothwell, Northampton, blacksmith) and christened 7 May 1797 Caldecott,Rutland,England. 
11.   William Woodcock of Caldecott Rutland 25 July 1799 Caldecott (son of Lewis Woodcock and Sarah)  married Elizabeth Goodwin on 18 July 1826

Thank you for the help!

Hi

Just a thought. If Mary was his daughter from his first marriage, wouldn't she also be mentioned in his will, especially as he named all the others?

Where do you have the information from that Mary Woodcock b. c  1785 has the parents Lewis Woodcock and Elizabeth Cort 

Lewis Woodcock a widower, married Mary Simons (born about 1760) at the St Mary Leicester church in 15 SEP 1785

It would appear from this that these are more likely to be  her parents .

Son Samuel Patrick's baptism register--non-conformist so had her parents names in the margin...
