Oswald Woodall (alive 1610)

An 'Oswald Woodhall' was prizer for Cuthbert Rogers in 1610.

This was two years after the death of Oswald Woodall (-1608) and so can't be him. He is unlikely to be Oswald, grandson of the 1608 Oswald, who wouldn't yet have been 18.

Cuthbert's probate does not give a place (not even a parish), but Rogers is a Branthwaite surname. So, it is reasonable to assume that this Oswald was living there and had property there.

As the name Oswald comes from a Crakeplace ancestry rather than a Woodhall one, it is a fair assumption that this Oswald is son of the 1608 Oswald, rather than from some other branch of the clan.

This Oswald would have been too young to be the Oswald marrying Margaret Peile in 1559, but of age to marry in 1579. If he were Margaret's son, born in early 1560, then he would have been just old enough for a 1579 marriage. If he had been conceived some months before the 1559 marriage (not an unusal event) then he would have been born in 1559 and be 20 years old at his 1579 marriage. Even if that is not the case (and yeomen tended not to marry until 25), he could of course have been a product of his father's first marriage.

He (or his father) married 02-06-1579 to Mary Salkeld, with one son Henry (baptised 22-07-1580, buried 04-09-1582). She is likely the Mary Woodall buried 14-01-1582/3 in Dean.  An Oswald Woodhall was witness to the will of Henry Salkeld of Pardshaw Hall in 1584 - three successive years, son, wife and father-in-law die.

Oswald would have died sometime before 1628 (otherwise he would have been mentioned in the will of his nephew, and possible godson, Oswald) and was probably childless. There would have been no burial record as the Dean register for the period hasn't survived.

What happened to any property is unknown. The nephew Oswald may have occupied it, as he died at Branthwaite Edge.
