william WOOF 1699-1763 selside
« on: Tuesday 20 March 12 18:06 GMT (UK) »
i am looking for any info concerning the birth ,death and marriage of WILLIAM WOOF b.1699 died 16 jan 1763 in selside near kendal, i know he married a DEBORAH but have not been able to find any record of the marriage or his birth place which i presume was around selside or orton ,westmorland as there seems to be a strong connection between the woof family to orton ?
He died in selside i am lead to believe but again have not been able to find any details of his burial, except a date.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I responded to your other query.

There is no marriage of a William Woof in Orton between 1710 and 1746 - sorry.

There is only one christening in this period in Orton:
15 Apr 1740 Mary the daughter of John Woof of Appleby

The following marriage licence may be related:
16 Jan 1739/40
John Woouf of St Laurence, Appleby, yeoman
Ann Taylor of Borough of Appleby, spinster
bondsman: Tho Munkhouse, of St Lawrence, ditto, shoemaker
Ann Taylor daughter of Thomas Taylor now of the parish of Orton
no direction for place of marriage

regards
Deborah
