Hi,
Looking for help trying to find Mary Woods. Been looking a very long time, with no real luck. Any help or advice to find Mary and her family would be much appreciated. Here is what I know about her:
First name is Mary: or Margaret or Margaret Mary
Surname is Wood or Woods
Father is James Wood(s) whose occupation is a Confectioner or once he was a farmer.
Mother is Elizabeth Guire/McGuire/MacGuire or Quire or Gare (both with or without the Mc/Mac): She may have been Irish.
Mary was born in Albert Terrace, Middlesboro in 1871 or maybe 1875.....
Mary married in Inverness in October 1898 where she was a domestic servant. She claimed that both her parents were dead at the time of her marriage. She and her husband were Roman Catholic.
Her children were called Albert Alexander, Alfred John, Henry Edward, Samuel and Violet Mabel: the names Alexander, John and Samuel appear in her husband's side of the family; no trace of a James or Elizabeth appearing as a child's name.
Have tried census records and online trees to try to find a link but have been singularly unsuccessful.
Was wondering if Albert Terrace might have been an orphanage or workhouse where she might have been abandoned. Would anyone with local information know if this is a possibility? Or if someone had the reference information such as piece nos to make a search of Albert Terrace that might help tracking them in the 71 & 81 census.
Once again, any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.
