I have done a lot of research on Abram Woods. I am a direct descendant. Sue we have corresponded in the past and I sent you Dr Sampson's tree.
Were you ever able to connect your family? I have done a lot more research since we were last in touch a few years ago. Let me know

I found the marriage of Thomas Roberts and Ellen Wood on North Wales BMD to have taken place at Boduan St Buan Church in 1861.The GRO equivalent for the marriage is Jan/Feb/Mar quarter 1861,Volume 11b,Page 563.The marriage is said to have taken place in the Pwllheli District of Caernarvonshire.

If my memory serves me well,there was a Harpist of some reknown related to the Wood(s) family.

William Russell Jones.

Hi, thank you so much for your response.
I have that certificate thanks but still cannot tie in Ellens line despite going back past her father Thomas.
Ibelieve  that his father may have been Thomas married to JAUN??/Jane. He was born in 1803 Pentyrch,   sister Elizabeth 1805,Ann 1809,Sarah 1813 William 1812 Abraham 1818. There is a Jane Wood who dies 1836 Pentyrch!and Thomas in the same year. My thomas married Elinor Jones 1824 Llanfair Caereinion, children sarah 1835, Mary 1832,Eleanor 1831,Ann 1829, Jane 1826 and Thomas 1826 and died 1826 17 jan. then another Thomas in 1842!! 

This where i am completely stuck not able to tie in anyone further back, any help would be fantastic.

thank you
Sue

Sue I referred to a Harpist associated with the Woods family.I'm sure there is a thread about the Harpist somewhere on this Site?I'm told the Harpist played before Queen Victoria.
