Woods of Stillington, N. Yorks.

[catkin]

I am researching the Woods of Stillington, N. Yorks.  I have the 1881 census but would appreciate earlier and later information.  They were builders in this village and also had an ale house at one stage.  They lived on the Green in a house imaginatively called 'Woodville'!.  I would also like to trace any ancestors of Mary Wood (nee Gibson) who was born in Marton Lordship, N. Yorks.  I have so far failed to trace her parents.  My eventual aim is to trace living relatives and would therefore like to trace descendants of Thomas Wood (born 1872). Richard Christopher Wood (born 1874), William Gibson Wood (born 1878) Lillian M. Wood (born 1882), Ernest D. Wood (born 1884) and Leonard Wood (born 1890).  Any information would be gratefully received.

Many thanks to all the kind people who took the time and made the effort to help me.  My Granny was Mary (1886)!  Armed with this information, I can now try to find living relatives.  Does anyone know where I find information on WW1 and WW2 casualties?  It is more than likely that some Woods might have perished in either war.
