WOORE/HOAR - Goodrich

I wondered about a Will for James and/or possible for Ann who died in 1876.

On 1841 census James and Ann were at Yew Tree Cottage which is mentioned in an archive in the Hereford Records Office (ref L24/72 1809 - 1843) which contains 'attested copies of deeds for properties in Goodrich including Yew Tree Cottage belonging to Fletcher and Hill families and acquired by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick'
Not sure what the significance of that is! Yew Tree Cottage, Goodrich ( if it is the same one) seems now to be the home of a photographer called Philippe Brevet.

On the IGI an LDS member has attached the surname 'Howells' to Ann's name for all of the following baptisms for children of James and Ann (all baptised at Goodrich)

Mary bapt 16/7/1809
Oliver bapt 2/7/1815 (extra notes are added to entry by LDS member re marriage and burial for Oliver)
Do these two come from James's marriage to Anne Howells in 1807?

Then there is a long gap - so the following seem to be the children of the younger Ann who is on the 1841 and 1851 census with James

Elizabeth bapt 7/6/1835 residence Copped Wood
Mary Anne bapt 28/1/1839 residence Huntisham Baptism at Goodrich
Eliza bapt 15/1/1843 residence Copped Wood

This is in addition to the 3 Howells baptisms for Henry 1828, Anne 1829 and Thomas 1832.

Interesting but not sure where to go from here! I would like to find the burial of James's first wife Ann Davies to be more certain that the James who married Ann Howells is the same one and therefore the one who is connected in some way to Martha.
