Margaret Mary Woods c 1873, Yorkshire?
« on: Friday 09 October 09 23:11 BST (UK) »
Hoping someone may have a connection to Margaret.

I only have two pieces of information on Margaret.  Her marriage certificate 1898 in Inverness give the names of her parents as James Woods and Elizabeth McGuire/McGaire, both of whom were apparently dead at time.  The 1901 census in Inverness which says she is born in Yorkshire, and she was working as a Domestic Servant.

Have tried Ancestry and Free BMD to find birth cert for Margaret, BMDs for James and Elizabeth, and FreeCen for 1881 and 1871 census but have found nothing which looks possible.

If anyone can suggest anything else I could try, or have any information on this family, I would be most grateful!

Hi Carole,
