Using Google images on the internet you find these sort of pictures of the church which I don't know personally.

Hello again,  would you also have a record for a Francis Woolhouse who died in 1861 ,  Windsor Berkshire.   or Phoebe Woolhouse , I have not been able to find her on the G.R.O index , so may have died prior to 1837, also Windsor Berks. They were both born abt 1775.

There are Woolhouse burials at St John the Baptist Windsor and St Andrew Clewer but not for the names you are interested in.

I would try the records at

St Michael's in Bray has a large churchyard.  It is close to the river Thames - and two famous hostelries (expensive ones as well - the Waterside Inn and the Fat Duck).  The church itself was apparently built about 700 years ago with renovations by the 19th century vicar Austen Leigh, who was, I believe, a relative of Jane Austen.

There is also a cemetery in the parish, known as Bray Without.  Depending on where he lived, he may be buried there.
