Is there a connection?
« on: Monday 14 February 22 13:36 GMT (UK) »
I am wondering if there is any possible connection to be found between the following two gentlemen.

I have all the information I need or want at the moment about the later generations because unless these two gentlemen are related to one another their descendants are not related to me and I do not want to spend time on them, so please, everyone, don't waste your time looking for details of descendants at this stage.

They are
Basil Woodd or Wood, clergyman, Drayton Beauchamp, Buckinghamshire, England.
and
Edward Bell Wood, gentleman, Woodville, County Cavan, Ireland.

Basil Woodd married Sophia Sarah Jupp in 1792. Their son Charles Samuel, born in London on 9 September 1795, succeeded his father as Rector of Drayton Beauchamp, Buckinghamshire, in 1831. Charles Samuel's death on 2 June 1838 at the age of 42 was registered in Aylesbury in 1838. There was at least one other son, William James Tilson, born 1805 and died 1836, and there are newspaper reports of the marriages of daughters.

Edward Bell Wood married Anna Sophia Webb. Their son Samuel Edward was born in Ireland about 1834 and died in Troqueer, Dumfries-shire, Scotland on 10 February 1905. He rose to the rank of Lt-Col in the 93rd Highlanders. Other children were Anna Jane, George Edward Bell, Jane and Sophia.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
