parents of JOHN THOMAS STRANGE

[MJC164EY]

Hi,
Am trying to trace parents of JOHN  THOMAS STRANGE,  mmn WOODAS  1867 BELPER [gro.gov]
The problem is I cannot find a marriage for Strange & Woodas.
I have found an 1855 marriage for:
John Strange & Elizabeth Woodhouse [Woodas?] 1855 Codnor and Loscoe [Basford], Nottinghamshire
can anyone find any connection between these facts?
Thanks,
Mel C

Hi PaulineJ,
Have marriage in 1895 Barnsley to Phillis Elizabeth Smith [family fact]
Many thanks for other names will look into them.
Does it make sense mmn Woodhouse and Woodas are the same??

Does it make sense mmn Woodhouse and Woodas are the same??

I'd say that was a very good possibility.
Especially if you're in Derbyshire.
If you 'drop' the 'h' of house, they sound almost identical.

Added: I've also seem 'Woodisse' in Derbyshire records.
Be worth searching on sites using 'Wood*' if that works.

Woodhouse would definately be pronounced Woodass in  Derbyshire villages at that time (and parts of Nottinghamshire (e.g. Mansfield Woodhouse was/is known as Mansfield Woodass -or even shortened to just Woodass -as it is by a true local nowadays (myself included)

Marriages/births  in Loscoe would be registered in Basford district

John Thomas on census gives his p.o.b. as Marehay Ripley Derbys -so his birth would be registered in Belper reg district
