Facts and Events
Ann Roy was baptised on 1st May 1757 at Pagham on the Sussex coast, daughter of Sarah Roy, formerly Mattchem, and her husband Nicholas Roy, a wheelwright.
Ann was married at Pagham on 5th August 1776, aged nineteen, to Thomas Woolgar. They went on to have fourteen children baptised at Pagham between 1776 and 1800, although at least three of these died as infants.
Ann's mother died in 1795, and her father in 1806. Her father's probate records show that he had lived in the hamlet of Lagness in Pagham.
Thomas died in 1836. Ann survived him by nearly three years and died in 1839, being buried at Pagham on 14th March 1839, aged 81. Her burial record notes that she too had lived at Lagness.

1757 / May the 1st – Ann Roy Daughter of Nicholas Roy & Sarah his Wife
This baptism has been linked to the Ann Roy who married Thomas Woolgar on the basis that it is in the same parish in which Ann married, had her children and was buried, and is at about the time implied by the age quoted at her burial. The will of the father of this Ann from 1806 also makes clear that his daughter Ann was still alive, and that he lived at the same small hamlet of Lagness where the Ann who was married to Thomas Woolgar is known to have lived.
