 - and click on Genealogy, then "Zoeken"

(should go to this page: http://www.gemeentearchief.rotterdam.nl/content2/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=307 )

There are shown to be several children b. in Rotterdam to George Wood and Mary Abraham(s)
  George, 1823, Jane, 1824, Isaac, 1826, Francis, 1828
You can order a copy of Jane's birth if you would like it.

There's also the death of a James Woods, aged 20, b. England, in 1840 - possibly another child of George and Mary, or some other relative (or a red herring?).

Someone else here researching the family? (Or is this yours? They also list the Rotterdam births):

It seems some of the family, at least, returned to England, Jane married there, and that father George was b. England.
