• (Oct 2021) A revised and much enlarged Woodward family tree has now been added to the site. (see Family Tree above). This is a merger of two earlier trees - that of Walter Woodward (1630s) from Morton Bagot, Warwickshire and that of William Woodward (1760s) based around Alcester, Warwickshire. Following lengthy research, this merger now takes the family line back to about 1600.
  
  
• (Aug 2021) A recent re-appraisal of the evidence gathered so far suggests that my Alcester Woodward family are directly related to the Walter Woodward family from Morton Bagot. Research is still ongoing but the Morton Bagot tree has been amended accordingly, although there are still questions to be answered.
  
  
• (Jun 2021) Revised family tree for Thomas Woodward and Mary Oakley at Stratford on Avon uploaded following new research - see the Related families page for details.

A large family tree of Woodwards in Lower Quinton and Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire has also been compiled and added to the site (1590-1764).
  
  
• (July 2015) New research into the origins of William Woodward from the mid 1700s is available on the Family members page. The research looks at eight possible Williams who could be a direct ancestor. Even if you are not related to this family, you may find useful information about other William Woodwards in the Alcester area and gain clues for your own research. Also updated is research into William's likely parents, John & Hannah Woodward, showing links to Woodwards in Quinton, Stratford on Avon and Clifford Chambers, Warwickshire.

See the Related families page for details.
