Looking for Family of Emily Kate Hemmings and Frank Wood

[rthom]

I am looking for information on the descendants of Emily Kate Hemmings and Frank Wood. What I do know is that Emily was born Jun Qr 1867 in Chelsea, London, and she married Frank Wood in Sep Qr 1889 in St. Pancras, Middx.  Frank was born Dec Qr 1866, Congleton (Alsager).  Emily Kate and Frank Wood appear to have had at least three children, all born in Kentish Town:

   i   Dorothy Emily Wood, b. Sep Qr 1890, Pancras, 1b, 181.
   ii   Gertrude Wood, b. Mar Qr 1892, Pancras, 1b, 164.
   iii   Herbert Edward Wood, b. Mar Qr 1897, Pancras, 1b, 156.

The last sighting I have for this family is in the 1901 census when they were living at 47 Oak Village, Kentish Town, All Hallows Parish, London [RG13/0155/35/62].

If any of this rings a bell with you, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks in anticipation, rthom

Hi Jennifer:

Yes, thank you.   

I have a good track on Emily Kate in 1871, 1881, 1891, up to the 1901 census. But there the trail goes cold!

There are death on freebmd for:
Dorothy E. A. Wood, 23, d. Mar quarter 1914, Kingston district.
Gertrude Wood, 27, d. Dec quarter 1918, Kingston district

But then again the names are so common it's hard to know.

Hello jorose:

Thank you for finding those. Goodness, the ages and the locations fit. Might be worth springing for certificates. If it's them, how sad.
