Joseph Wood and Jane Black
« on: Monday 02 December 13 09:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi!
    Can anyone help with the following?

I have a Joseph Wood marrying Jane Black on 26th March 1837 at Wigton. They had the following issue:

Thomas Wood bapt 22 October 1837 Bromfield

Sarah Wood bapt 27 December 1840 Bromfield

Joseph Wood bapt 25 October 1843 Wigton

William Wood bapt 6 February 1846 Wigton

Mary Jane Wood bapt 6 August 1848 Westward

Jane Black who married Joseph Wood was born 18th February and baptised 2nd November 1806 at Bromfield (baptised as Jenny) daughter of Thomas Black and Mary Little.

On the 1851 and 1861 census returns Joseph Wood lists his place of birth as Bolton Cumberland, which I think may have been Bolton Low Houses, not far from Wigton? His age puts him being born around 1804 to 1807.

Have checked IGI and all other records I can think of but cannot find baptism for Joseph?

Any help much appreciated! :)

There do appear to be parish records for Bolton Cumberland on Family Search.   

Looking for Wood's born in the parish on Family Search I did find some baptisms for Wood's including a Michael Wood in 1809 with parents Thomas Wood and Mary Parkin https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NXQY-2QP. Interesting that your Joseph called his first child Thomas.     :)

Thanks Kay! I have had a look at this family and Thomas Wood and Mary Parkin had quite a large family, however cannot find their marriage as yet, nor baptism of a son Joseph!

On the 1851 census however for Dovenby Thomas and Mary are still alive and also listed is a grandson Thomas aged 13 born Wigton who could possibly be the son of Joseph?

Will keep looking but many thanks! Andrew :)
