Background

Robert Woodward was the eldest child of Walter Woodward and Mary. Robert was born in Morton Bagot, Warwickshire and was baptised on 3 May 1668 at Holy Trinity Church in the village. He is believed to have married an Ann sometime around 1697, as his later children were recorded in the baptism register as ".. son of Robert and Ann", but the marriage record itself cannot be found.

There are only nine Robert marriages online for the whole of England around the correct time to match the birth of his children, and the only one anywhere near a match is to an Ann Argus at Knightsbridge in London on 28 March 1694. The marriage record merely states "March 1694: Robert Woodward and Ann Argus".
