Looks like Ada may have been illegitimate. There is a birth in Dewsbury Sept qtr 1871 for an Ada Fisher with no mothers maiden name

Hi
Just been looking & he seems to be the son of Joseph & Sarah Wood (nee Warden) but could not find a marriage.
She seems to be tha daughter of William Warden but no proof so would not take it as red.
This got me thinking & if I recall correctly there was a Quakers house off Windybank.

If it is the correct Tom Wood with mother's maiden name Warden think this is the parents marriage which is on Anc. I think Sarah's surname may have been spelt as she pronounced it
Marriage
13 Jun 1847 Tong, St James, Yorkshire
Joseph Wood Shoemaker - father John Wood - Shoemaker
Sarah Warding - father Wm Warding - Tailor
Their address was listed as the Parish of Bristal Birstal
-
yeah that all looks correct. I think Tong comes under Bradford district, it is a long time since I did my research in this area but should have remembered that.
I might have to have a proper look at these Woods, a distant cousin married a Wood whose father I was a John Wood.
