Many thanks Tara.
The missing connection must be right there but the exact detail remains elusive.   Hopefully the answer will be found somewhere.

Many thanks for the link - this is the same Wood-Ferguson family but unfortunately does not go back far enough.  Dudley.

Ireland / Matthew Fortescue genealogy
« on: Saturday 19 May 12 15:44 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help with the parents of Robert Bruce Wood (1782), father of Matthew Fortescue Wood(1829)?  Six generations had sons named Matthew Fortescue.  I would particularly like to know why this name is significant to the family and if it is the result of a marriage .   I have MFW(1829) born in Louth, MFW(1863) born in Somerset and MFW(1919) born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.  It would be interesting to know which of the MFWs emigrated.
The present generation of MFWs live in Johannesburg and have kindly supplied me with photos of all six for the family tree.  The photo of MFW(1829) has him wearing a Masonic collar so the family was most likely Protestant.
