Elizabeth Woolley married Nathaniel Brown (her second husband as she was a widow) and was the mother of Ursula Sarah Brown.


Marriage

Elizabeth Woolley first married a Mr. Parker, but then she was widowed.

Her second husband was Nathaniel Brown.

Nathaniel Brown (widower) married Elizabeth Parker (widow) in 1751 at St James, Westminster. Both of this parish. Present Thomas Farnshaw/Fanshaw. On the 8th April 1751 they obtained one license to marry. And on 8/9th(?) April 1751 was licensed to marry at either St George Hanover square, or Audley St Chapel.Comment in the margin: Thomas for mye, Wm? Geo? Bellors/Bellow

Her husband Nathaniel Brown was buried in St James, Westminster, on the 18th November 1780.

Possible Parker marriages:

  • Elizth. Wooley m. Joseph Parker, 31st July 1740, Saint John Smith Square, Westminster, London, England.

The husband would also have to have died before 1751:

  • Mr. Joseph Parker from London, buryed May 6, 1749, St John the Evangelist, Wotton.

And they would have to have had a daughter called Jane Parker (who married John Dillman Engleheart).

  • Jane Parker b.2 Nov 1743, c. 20 Nov 1743, Westminster, England, to Joseph and Elizabeth Parker.

So it looks like Joseph Parker is a jolly good match.

Children

Her daughter Jane Parker married John Dillman Engleheart on the 18th December 1770:

Nr. 403. John Dillman Engleheart & Jane Parker, both of thi parish were married in this church by license from the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury this eighteenth day of December 1770. By me Tho. Skinner clerk in orders. This marriage was solemnized between us John Dillman Engleheart, Jane Parker. In presence of Tho. Webber, Eliz Brown, Lav? Tripp? Eliza Brown.



Death

Elizabeth was probably dead by 1781 (as she did not appear to be the guardian for her daughter Sarah at this point).
