Check name of father Ann Woodcock

Hello there is a marriage listed for Joseph Hardy and Ann Woodcock 3 July 1854. It gives her father's name as William Shaw. I understood her father to be Francis Woodcock. Could someone check this for me before I order the marriage certificate. Thank you as always this is a great source of information.

Hi

This marriage certificate is available on FMP and Ann's father is listed as William Shaw.

Thank you I will have a look it seemed strange her father had a different surname.

Re: Check name of father Ann Woodcock

I think this is possibly her step father as I can find an Ann Woodcock widow marrying a William Shaw. Thank you for checking.

Re: Check name of father Ann Woodcock

Francis Woodcock died in Jan 1851 aged 49 and his wife Ann married William Shaw in Dec 1851

Francis Woodcock was a Presser.

On the 1841 census Ann Woodcock the daughter was 2 years old.

Hope this helps

Thanks John that is great I had the daughter Ann Woodcock born about 1838 so all fits in. I guess they put her step fathers name there as she had grown up with him after her father died.
