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

Marriage

Elizabeth Woolley married her first husband Joseph Parker on the 31st July 1740, Saint John's, Smith Square, Westminster. They had a child, Jane Parker, but then she was widowed in 1749, Joseph was buried on the 6th May 1749 at St John the Evangelist, Wotton.

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.

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

Children

Her first daughter was with Joseph Parker

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

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

She had two more daughters with her second husband Nathaniel Brown:

• Ursula Sarah Brown (b.21 Oct 1760, c.4 Nov 1760, St James, Picadilly)

  

Death

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