Wood in Yorkshire - Help please
« on: Sunday 15 October 06 03:54 BST (UK) »
Hi List,
 
I've been chasing the WOOD family in Nottinghamshire and could find no BDM.
I recently discovered Peter WOOD hosier of Mansfield (Nottingham) married in
Halifax on 16 May 1792 to Elizabeth MEDLEY daughter of John Medley and Sara
SETTLE (married 16 Feb 1766 Halifax, Yorkshire, England.)
 
IGI has the following that could be children of the couple Peter WOOD and
Elizabeth as they fit into the right time frame I'm pretty keen that they
are:
PETER WOOD - Gender: Male Birth: 17 APR 1797 Christening: 14 MAY 1797 Welton
With Melton, Yorkshire, England
JOHN WOOD - Gender: Male Birth: 17 OCT 1795 Christening: 15 NOV 1795 Welton
With Melton, Yorkshire, England
JANE WOOD - Gender: Female Birth: 07 JUL 1793 Christening: 18 AUG 1793
Welton With Melton, Yorkshire,
ELIZABETH WOOD - Gender: Female Birth: 26 SEP 1799 Christening: 27 OCT 1799
Welton With Melton, Yorkshire,
 
Although the dates fit with Peter and Elizabeth's marriage I see from the
map that Halifax and Welton with Melton are on opposite ends of Yorkshire
and together with the fact that I haven't a mother's maiden name I'm not
sure that they are the same family.
 
Please can any-one advise how I can find out if these children are Elizabeth
Wood nee MEDLEY's
