Title: Wood/Main family of Slamannan
Post by: andrew shanks on Saturday 18 February 06 15:49 GMT (UK)

William Wood and Mary Main were married on 22 Jun 1817 in Slamannan.

I am trying to find out who their parents and siblings were and would be grateful for any assistance with this.

Dano this is wonderful. Have you traced the tree back any further than James Wood? I've only just begun my genealogy, and i have a pretty complete view from John Stainton Wood (William's son, James' grandson, my g-g-grandfather) downward since his immigration to Canada.

As for Mary's lineage, there were some folks who seemed to have a great deal on the Main family as discussed here but i am not sure they're still active: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=459241.0
