Wood - Father Confusion
« on: Sunday 13 January 08 18:59 GMT (UK) »

Can someone help me.

I have a person in my family tree called Angelina Wood. She was born in 1842 in Bradden, Northamptonshire. Her mother was Mary Anne Wood who was born in 1822 in Bradden Northamptonshire.

Now for some reason i have Angelina's father down as being Thomas Wood born in 1826 in Bradden Northamptonshire. However, this is actually Mary Anne's brother.

I've done a bit of searching on familysearch.org and i know that John maycock is named on Angelina's christening records as being the father. Now here's the confusion.

Mary Anne did marry John Maycock but not until 1842. Now would I be correct in assuming that he is the father. I'm not trying to cover up some incest as I can't find in my notes where I got Thomas as the father in the first place. I'm just trying to make sure I have it correct.

Can anyone help.

The IGI has her listed as ch. 1842 but born before, Have you found her or her parents on any census to asertain thier correct d.o.b.  Huh

It could well be that Maycock was her father but he may have been a minor therefore she could not take his name at birth as they were not married.

She's on the 1851 & 1861 census as being born in 1842.  Both of these her and her mother are living with her grandparents.

On the 1851 Braddon it gives her mother  Mary Ann Wood as the unmarried daughter of  J ames and Elizabeth Wood.

Mary Ann is 28 and Angelina 9 so she was very young when she was born.

I cannot see her birth record in 1842 in complete index's.

I suspect this is an error

Marriage took place in Sept. q 1853 Towcester, 3b - 39

Hi to you both.

If you go to Mary Taylor's site it list the family you are looking for.

If you look at Family Trees on the left hand side of the page it will direct you to the Surname Page.

On the 1851 John Maycock is aged 27 a servant so he would have only been 19 at the time of Angelina's birth.

There is no birth registered in the complete index's 1842 under Angelina Wood or Maycock so it was probably not registered as she was illegitimate.

I wonder if you have a marriage cert for Angelina  Huh very often illegitimate women gave either a brothers name or grandfathers name as thier father or sometime even a ficticious one. I have one of these myself  Roll Eyes

I doubt very much if there was any incest in this particular case.

Wow!! Thanks for the help especially the link.  On that site it's got her as being born around 1838.  i wonder if that is nearer the truth.

 I think I've figured it out.  Looking on Mary's website for John Maycock, he was married at the time.  He got Married in 1836.  Mary has got him down as being married twice before he married Mary Anne Wood.
