    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.

    • From DFHS index of PR entries (on FMP, viewed 6 Jan 2013)
      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.
