Surnames: woodman/chudley/godbear- Morchard Bishop Devon England
Can anyone please help me. I'v just started my family tree & its been very easy, good job because i'm a novice.
My family where born & died in Morchard Bishop more or less
but i'v now hit a dead spot or dead end.
My grandfather William J Woodman was born in 1880 to a Jane Woodman out of wedlock. I'v found them on the 1881 census living with Janes Mother a widower who was married to a Simon-Peter Woodman he died in 1876 and she re married a William Godbear who it appears also had died by the time that census was done.
i found william with his grandmother again on 1891 census but no trace of Jane, i'v found her brothers. I then found a living uncle and spoke to him and he says Jane married a John Chudley in june 1891 in crediton he said they lived in west sandford until about 1918 when they moved to morchard bishop John Chudley died in 1927 and Jane in 1933 they are both buried in the Morchard Bishop Church Yard. But i cannot find them on either the 1891 or 1901 census. I'v found birth, marriage & death records on line, but can not link the two together or her to my grandfather.
Also her mother born elizabeth webber widowed by 1876, re married and widow again by 1891 then i'v lost her, i believe she died around 1898 but again cannot find anything concrete.

Has anyone whilst re tracing their woodmans come across this Chudley & godbear link??? any info would be most grateful.

thanks
