Hello Kylie B,
I came away from lunch with a friend today with the names of two websites which may be of interest to you.
I've googled 'The Surman Index' and it is a mine of information giving Samuel Wood being at Wivenhoe Essex, Lavenham Suffolk, Bishops Stortford, Essex & Woodbridge - with all the dates...and even a Samuel Wood at Rendham!
The index was transcribed by Dr David Wykes of the Dr Williams' Library.
The other site , google 'non-parochical bmd' has indexes of bmds. However the name Samuel Wood was quite common so there is rather a lot of them! Good news is though, that you can subscribe to this site to get further into the indexes.

Hephzibah- thank you very much!
Have Googled the Sumane Index and found lots of clues. I now have dates and some decendency- with blanks needing filling in of course!! Am going to do a new post on the Norwich board as that is where the folk with dates lead to.

It also confirms that Samuel Wood of Fram was the YOUNGEST son of Samuel Wood of Woodbridge, so there are definately siblings there to find. It also says he left his ministry in 1756 and moved to London to study Physic, and died of smallpox shortly after....so another train to follow. Might post on the London board for that one!
