  Notes	The St Michael, Thorpe-le-Soken parish register contains the following entry at 25 May 1769. It's unclear what its significance is. "Frances SMITH of this parish of Thorpe le Soken in the county of Essex, widow, came and made oath before me Samuel Lewis, Curate of the said parish, that she stood Godmother, or Sponsor for, and named, on a certain Sunday in time of Divine Service, Martha, daughter of John and Elizabeth Woods, Husbandman of this said Parish of Thorpe, and now wife of Henry Garnham of the parish of Beaumont Cum Moze in the said County, within a month or thereabouts after the feast of Saint Michael The Archangel, either in the year 1745, or in the year 1746, that is to say about Twenty Four or at the least Twenty Three years ago, next Michaelmas time As witness, my hand Samuel Lewis." The burial in 1814 is almost certainly of Martha nee Woods - it's the only one of a Martha at St Michael, Thorpe-le-Soken at around the right time. The birth year shown is based on Martha's age of 67 when she was buried,
