JOHN WOOD - Berechurch, colcheste/Look Up
« on: Saturday 23 January 10 11:16 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I have a John Wood  bn. circa 1794 - residence 1841 in Berechurch, Colchester.
He had a son  - George Henry Wood bn. 1816 in  Berechurch, Colchester.

My question - could someone look up Berechurch,Colchester  Parish records to find out if George Henry Wood had any siblings.

Regards,   Irene

Hello there,

Thank you for replying - I do appreciate your trouble.

I now have a few more names I can `dig` around with and hopefully come up with something positive.

Thank you

Irene

Hi Ronnie,  I did not think it would be long before I requested something else. In your e.mail to me regarding the birth of George Wood there seems to be a digit missing.  Have you still got your original notes you took?

I`ve been nosy and looked up your profile and previous correspondence - guess what - I live in Colchester too.

Regards,   Irene

Dear Irene,

I am hoping you are still on this thread!  John Wood is my great great great grandfather, and I am descended on my mother's side (Mary Wood) from George Henry Wood! So we are distant cousins I believe.  I knew nothing of the Belgian exodus you mention.  I know very little about the individual Wood forebears, except that John was a gamekeeper, I have presumed at Berechurch Hall.  George was an Inspector of Nuisances in Kensington, but this you already know I think.  I have a few other details which you might be interested in, and very much look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Cordwell James
