William Tooze (b. 1727) married Joan Cood (bap. 6 Jan 1725 in Holcombe Rogus), daughter of Thomas Cood (the baptism record doesn't mention her mother), at All Saints Church, Holcombe Rogus on 18 Jun 1751.

Records suggest at least six children, all baptised in Holcombe Rogus:
  1. William Tooze bap. 26 Jan 1752
  2. Mary Tooze bap. 31 Mar 1754
  3. Catherine Tooze bap. 7 Mar 1756
  4. Elizabeth Tooze bap. 27 Dec 1762
  5. John Tooze bap. 11 Oct 1767
  6. Thomas Tooze bap. 5 Jun 1770
It appears that Joan Tooze, with year of birth listed as 1727, died in 1769. Assuming Thomas was baptised at a few months old, this is not necessarily inconsistent and, indeed, may point to the cause of her death.

William Tooze died in 1787. Both were buried in Holcombe Rogus.
