Henry Woods

The Lancashire Wills Index has an entry for a George Woods, yeoman of Broughton, 1767, but I don't know whether this is him or not.
Edit - there is a burial 20 May 1767 at St John the Baptist, Broughton, George Woods senior, so it looks likely that he is the father of this George.

Possibly the George Woods buried 20 Mar 1814 at St John the Baptist, Broughton, age 81, abode Barton. But there are a lot of George Woods burials!

There is the baptism of a George Woods, May 1732, at St John the Baptist, Broughton, son of Henry Woods, abode Broughton. This would fit with the age at death on the 1814 burial and with my George naming his first son Henry. But would mean that George senior is not his father, and that there is another George somewhere! Maybe Henry is a son of George senior and has a brother George junior?

If Henry is my George's father then the likely marriage is Henry Woods of Broughton / Mary Dimock of the parish of St Michaels, 26 Apr 1729 at St John, Preston. George's first two daughters were named Mary so this looks likely.
