WOOD family (Tasmania)

[alexandramac]

Hello everyone.  If possible I would like some help with finding my grandmothers birth registration about 1886  May Julia Wood is according to her 1912 marriage cert the child of Thomas Henry Wood and Florence Eveline Watson.  She had a brother also Thomas and a sister also Florence.

Thomas was born in 1846, child of Thomas Wood and Mary Ann Albury.  He married an Eliza Louisa Watkins in Tasmania in 1846.  She may have had a child the previous year with the same name but no father listed.  There were problems and she remarried in Melbourne.  My brick walls are:
I can find no divorce for them in Tasmania. 
I can find no marriage for Thomas and Florence.
I can find no birth reg for any of the children.
I can find no trace of Florence either Wood or Watson. (I do not know where she was born)
If anyone can help or tell me where to go next I would be very grateful.  Thank you

Did she give her birth place on her marriage certificate?
I noticed her marriage is registered in Hobart.

Thomas was born in 1846, child of Thomas Wood and Mary Ann Albury.  He married an Eliza Louisa Watkins in Tasmania in 1846.  She may have had a child the previous year

Can you clarify this please .

THOMAS was the child of THOMAS and M A ALBURY..Which THOMAS do you mean had a previous marriage to ELIZA WATKINS?

He can't be born in 1846 and marry in 1846.

Sorry Sue...Thomas Wood born 1846 (was the son of Thomas and Mary Ann Albury Wood) and married Eliza in 1872.  They separated about 7 years later according to a newspaper article....thank you

May Julia Wood is according to her 1912 marriage cert the child of Thomas Henry Wood and Florence Eveline Watson.  She had a brother also Thomas and a sister also Florence.

Where exactly was May Julia born?  

So many events weren't registered in Tasmania and certainly makes research difficult.  

Where did you source the information about May Julia's siblings' names?
