I have a John Wooldridge b 1776, who married Ann Newbert about 1812 in Bicker, Lincs.  They were living in Falkingham or Folkingham by 1814 and had 5 children.  I have a DNA match (9cm), who is clearly related to the Wooldridge descendants in my family.  In her tree, she has a John Wooldridge b abt 1776, married to a Jane Davison or Davinson, from Falkingham, who had a daughter Ann in 1813.  Unless she is mistaken about Jane, I am thinking that these Johns were likely cousins.  I can't find John and Jane in any censuses.  Any ideas?

If it is any help, I searched through the Jane Davisons born in Lincolnshire, England, and through marriages of a Jane Davison (mostly from Northumberland or County Durham) but none showed up as being married to a Wooldridge.

While there were Jane Davison's born in Lincolnshire, the year of births were either too early or too late, and I found none married to a Wooldridge.  Do you have a source in that family tree?

Hope this helps.

Linda.

The record from a parish register - it's cropped, but it looks like Holbrook Holdingham - is a baptismal record for Jane, daughter of John and Ann Davison, 30 Jan 1779.  There is no proof of marriage to John Wooldridge.  I did find a marriage record for a Jane Davison to a John Charlton in 1802 (GBPRS_LINCS_FOLKINGHAM_PAR_1_4_0663) which looks like the same Jane, to me.  The child Ann Wooldridge was not born until 1813, so this could be a first marriage,  but it's impossible to tell from the records I can find on Ancestry.  I can't find a marriage record for John and Jane.
