Matty ("Martha") COLE
Set As Default Person -
Name Matty ("Martha") COLE Nickname Martha Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1795 Marystow, Devon, England
- From age given at burial, also from 1861 census info
Baptised 27 Nov 1795 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Marystow, Devon, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 6 Jan 2013):
"Matty, Daughter of John Cole & Ann his Wife was baptized Novembr. 27th. 1795"
Gender Female Buried 12 Oct 1861 St. Constantine’s Church, Milton Abbot, Devon, England
- Aged 66
Notes - (Research):Joseph and Matty had 3 children baptised in Milton Abbot 1817 - 1821, then after a gap Joseph and Martha had 3 children baptised 1829 - 1834.
The gap could suggest Matty and Martha were different people, despite the similar names.
However, the 1861 census shows 'Martha' as Matty and so would appear to confirm Richard had just the one wife. In addition, the censuses show other children and in 1851 the family were living in Tavistock, so the gap probably represents an absence from Milton Abbot.

(Age ~ 75 years) Married 22 Feb 1816 St. Constantine’s Church, Milton Abbot, Devon, England

and from transcribed details on GENUKI - by banns, Richard Woodman, bachelor, labourer, otp, signed; Matty Cole, spinster, otp, signed; witnesses: Mary Michell (made her mark), William Olver (signed)
I thought there might have been more than one child born in the gap from Milton Abbot between 1821 and 1829; searching the Cornwall OPC database for any Woodman births in the whole period just showed Jane; if there was another child or 2 in this period there would appear to have been baptised in a parish not on the Cornwall OPC database or in the PWDRO entries on FMP (as of 6 Jan 2013). I've since found Mary in the censuses, shown born Milton Abbot c. 1827 but no baptism found there.
