also Pomponia Watson b.c.1894 Suffolk lived with them and became a "Ward" of Alice Louisa's mother

next of kin Alice Louisa Woods(mother) 87 hervey St Ipswich

this looks like birth reg of father
Edward William J Woods
Mar qtr 1869
Ipswich

There is something strange about Edward William J Woods

He appears on census until after he married Alice louisa

Alice Louisa is on 1901 census as "Hart" and married
She appears in 1911 as Woods and married
No sign of Edward William J Woods
I think he had been married previously and had 2 daughters who were with grandparents in 1901
No sign of Edward William J Woods after 1891 -no death reg found

Edit Think he is on 1911 described as Widower!!!!!

You mention looking for information in Ipswich and Laxfield.

The parish records for Laxfield All Saints are at Ipswich branch of the Suffolk Record Office.

There is a small local history museum at Laxfield http://www.onesuffolk.co.uk/LaxfieldMuseum and of course the church of your ancestors to visit (www.suffolkchurches.co.uk)

Don't forget to call in at the Low House (The King's Head pub)
