Wood family.
« on: Saturday 02 April 16 22:11 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can help with a little family mystery! We've found photo's in a family album dated 1949 of a baby called Susan. We think she is connected to my mum's aunt Gladys Byford nee Wood (born 1924 or 26 not sure of death). Susan would have been born in the Leyton, East London area. I've tried looking for any records but have got very stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Kathryn

When did Gladys marry Mr Byford?

I would hazard a guess that Gladys married Ted in around 1945. Sorry I can't be more specific,we've got limited info.
Thanks Kathryn

Do you know who Gladys Wood's parents were?

This is the only scenario that I can find:

Marriages September Quarter 1943

WOOD, Gladys F
GOODSPEED, Leslie A.G.
Essex S.W.
Vol. 4a Page 452

Leslie Albert George GOODSPEED, KIA 1944

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/2766245/GOODSPEED,%20LESLIE%20ALBERT%20GEORGE

Marriages March Quarter 1946

BYFORD, Edward E.
GOODSPEED, Gladys F
Essex S.W. Vol. 4a  Page 446

Leslie and Gladys do not appear to have any registered children.

How old is the child in the photo?  A new baby?

A girl 1946 in Willesden registration district and a boy 1947 in Essex S W which includes Leyton.

Birth for Gladys? (but cannot see a death)

Births March quarter  1910   Gladys Fanny Wood        Wandsworth  1d 490

But if the baby is definitely called Susan, and as a 'baby' in 1949 born 1947 to 1949...

Added:
Sorry, forgot Gladys's birth around 1925.  Try again.

1926 in West Ham.  Married first when 17?

Has she died?

Gladys F and Edward E were on the ER for 2002 in Billericay.

The house looks to have been sold in 2002 (and 2015), so possibly died or left that address.

Is this 'Ted's' death:
Edward Ernest Byford born 5th March 1924
died in May 2002 at Brentwood
