Marriage: Thomas Wood to Caroline Smith c. 1870
« on: Wednesday 26 April 23 16:20 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for any details for the marriage of Thomas Wood, son of George Wood, to Caroline Smith in the Clay Cross area around 1865 to 1870. Thanks, Ian.

Using FreeBMD and only the two names - Thomas Wood and Caroline Smith - that is the only marriage that comes up.  :-\
