The surnames WOOD and WOODS were and still are among the most popular of surnames in NSW.   It was not compulsory to enrol to vote in NSW in that era.  Basically you needed to be a male, a British Subject aged 21 years and over.  The police collected the details for the electoral rolls.    All based on oral information. 

I will ask a volunteer moderator to move your thread from the Resources Board to the main Australia board where likely it will catch the eyes of many RChatters.
