In the 1829 will of William Woodward it says he has a daughter, Margaret, who was married to a Ralph Milner.
Clearly Ralph and margaret's children names indicate their parents as (for Ralph) Edward and Elizabeth and for Margaret Woodward's parents as William and Margaret. Her grave would suggest she was born about 1795.
Ralph and Margaret Milner both appear in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census with their children.
The census also provide an indication of her birth:
1841 1786-1791 Yorkshire
1851 1795-6 Gunnerside
1861 1795-6 GunnersideNo baptism record has been able to be located for Margaret.

Baptism Grinton: 17 Jan 1763 - John son of Wm Woodward near Gunnerside.
Baptism: Parish church records, Grinton, Yorkshire, England
MARR: Parish church records, Grinton. Recorded as "Jn. Woodward and Agn. Broderick". It is assumed that "Nanny" is a nickname for "Agnes". The first two or three children of this John Woodward were baptised with Agnes as the mother, and the rest of the children have Nanny as the mother. A marriage record exists for the marriage to Agnes Broderick, and the last child under her name was baptised in June 1793, but no mention is made in the church records for a death of Agnes around 1793-1794 nor for a subsequent marriage to a Nanny in 1794. The first child baptised with Nanny as the mother was in March 1795 and several others followed. The church records of Muker at this time are filled with abbreviations and nicknames instead of proper names.

Subcategory Parish BurialsHis will of 1829 still exists, and provides much information about his children and who they married (from the West Yorkshire Archive Service, Leeds). It says his children were William, Elizabeth (deceased by 1829, who had been married to a Mr. Metcalf and had a son Thomas Metcalf), Mrs. Mary Sunter, Mrs. Ann Bell, John (deceased), and Elizabeth (under 21 years). His wife is mentioned but her name is not given. The execution of John's will is also discussed on page 27 (which is an extract of the diary of Edward Broderick) of "Men of Swaledale" by Edmund Cooper, (Clapham, 1960) published in England. Edward Broderick was one of the executors of the will. In the will he leaves to his children land called Great Park and Little Bank, which were both acquired by John's father William Woodward (1729-1796). The continuity of ownership of land is the strongest evidence linking this family together.
Edward Broderick wrote a diary of which extracts are recorded in the Book "Men of Swaledale" by Edmund Cooper published in 1960.
Page 27 Edmund Broderick wrote:-
1st June 1830. This day the Court (the Court Baron and Customary Court of the Lord of Manor) is held at Reeth. Went down in the morning in company with Wm. Woodward and had a wet and rather unpleasant ride. I was admitted on the land of the late John Woodward with William, both of us trustees for the purposes of the will.
Baptism: Parish church records, marriage to John Woodward. Nanny is a nickname for Agnes and they are the same person.
She appears to be related to Edward Broderick and James Lonsdale Broderick, whose diaries have been reprinted in the books "Men of Swaledale" and "The Spirit of the Country" respectively.
Home: Spring End, the home of Nancy Broderick and later her son, William Woodward, was an entitled estate that had been in the possession of the Broderick family for over three hundred years.
Baptism: church records, Muker chapel, Muker, Yorkshire, England.
DEATH: church records, Muker chapel, Muker, Yorkshire, England
Baptism: church records, Muker chapel, Muker, Yorkshire, England. She was baptised on the same day as her sister Peggy Woodward, in an entry that read "Peggy and Betty, daughters of Jn. & Agnes Woodward, were baptised".

Baptism: church records, Muker chapel, Muker, Yorkshire, England. Recorded as "Tho., son of Jn. & Nanny Woodward"

Baptism: church records, Muker chapel, Muker, Yorkshire, England
DEATH: probably died before 1829 as she is not mentioned in the will of her father (died 1829)
DEATH: church records, Muker chapel, Muker, Yorkshire, England. This death entry also gives the age of the child.
WILL: in the 1829 will of John Woodward it says that he had a daughter Elizabeth who was a partner and she was not an adult as of 1829.
See notes on daughter Dorothy's baptism for James native place of Lodge Green.
BORN: In the 1796 and 1797 Manor Court Records for the Manor of Healaugh, Grinton parish, Yorkshire, the estate and land of the late William Woodward is transferred to his children, and "James Woodward of Stockton-upon-Tees, Durham" is mentioned as one of the sons in 1797. Also, "James Woodward of Stockton-on-Tees" was a witness at the 2nd marriage of his brother Thomas Woodward of Barnard Castle, Durham, and a different document (the very detailed baptism of Thomas' daughter Jane in 1798) states that Thomas' father was William Woodward of Grinton parish, Yorkshire.
MARR: church records, Barnard Castle, Durham; the marriage bond and allegation are from the University of Durham. (the witness was Samuel Redfearn, perhaps the father or brother of the bride)

WILLIAM COATES ( -1795) AND HANNAH WILSON (1737?-1808)
William Coates and Hannah Wilson were the grandparents of William Woodward (1789-1865). William and Hannah Coates' only child was Jane Coates, who married Thomas Woodward (1765- ) in 1788, and their first child was William Woodward (1789-1865).William Coates married Hannah Wilson by licence instead of by banns on February 14, 1765 at Brignall, Yorkshire, England. They seem to have only had one child, Jane, baptised October 14, 1765 at Brignall. William was a farmer and he may have served for a time as the Anglican Churchwarden. He was buried on June 11, 1795 at Brignall. His wife died April 6, 1808, aged 71 years, and she was buried on April 8, 1808 at Barnard Castle, Durham where her only daughter's family lived. One can assume that after the death of her husband in 1795 she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Woodward, in Barnard Castle.
