Title: What happened to Denby Wood
Post by: sunflower on Saturday 19 April 25 14:56 BST (UK)

Denby Wood was born in Bothamsall in 1764 to William Wood and Sarah (nee Denby) They married in
Haxey, Lincs in 1763.  Denby is mentioned in his fathers will dated 1783, but I can't find anything
about him after that date.

Any sighting of him would be great.

Thanks

Are you descended from one of his children?  If so - where & when was the child born

Thanks for the reply. 

William and Sarah are my 5th x gt but I'm descended from their son John born 1768.  I'm just trying to fill in a few gaps on the family.  I know what happened to their other children but Denby is a complete mystery.  William owned land in Haxey and in his will he left two messuages to Denby.
Both William and Sarah are buried at Bothamsall

Does it give any clue in the will as to where Denby was living?

Is it possible he chose to be known as William after his father's death?
