Hi Joan,

Had a bit of luck found Elizabeth's surname by finding their son John WOOD who had moved back to Somerset - 1881 he is living in Honeysuckle Alley Bridgwater Somerset same place as in 1851.

What a stroke of luck he's living with his grandmother who is Elizabeth PITMAN RG11/2374/128/20.

Curious though there's an entry for Elizabeth WOOD b1827 Wedmore, Somerset married, mariner's wife with dau. Emily b1867 Bridgwater, Somerset living Honeysuckle Alley Bridgwater -  RG11 /2374 /129/ 21

On 1871c Glamorgan Wales Elizabeth is widowed, born Bridgwater, Somerset is the above 1881c entry just a co-incidence?  :-\

Charles (CHAS.) WOOD he's living in 1881 Cardiff, Glamorgan at the same place as in 1871 -  RG11 / 5278 / 76/ 33

Hi,

I've been looking at WOOD/WOODS on 1881 census - I've now found this entry

RG11 / 5287 / 90 / 5

Mary A. WOOD b1865 Cardiff, Glamorgan Dom. Serv. 

sadly this probably isn't the Mary WOODS I'm looking for as Mary had married in 1880 and was on 1881 census with her husband:-[
