[ADDED:married Agnes Gretton Griffiths in 1929]I am helping a friend with his family; he is descended from John 1888 who emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1906 - so we have all this branch of the family. I am interested in putting said friend in touch with any living members of his British Woodcock family.
I am researching issue of any definite marriages at the moment. Can anyone with knowledge of any definite descendants of these 10 children please PM me; they may still be alive so please do not mention names on the forum.
Many thanks, Josey
ADDED: at the moment I do not have access to the 1939 register, but will try when there is an offer
