  Notes	Daughter's baptism record states profession as "Coachman with the Bishop of Durham". Shute Barrington was Bishop of Durham 1791-1826, before which he was Bishop of Salisbury. Hence speculation that James moved to Durham from the south of England. James's first son was named after his wife's father, so it might be guessed that the second son, George, was named after James's own father. The IGI lists a James, son of George, baptised at Turner's Puddle in 1774 - but this might be the James who married in Morden in 1793. No baptism 1992/6 IGI Co. Durham or Oxfordshire. No Woodrows in Oxfordshire Marriage Index nor 1851 census, but there are WOODRUFFs near Henley (15 miles ESE of Mongewell)
