Midlothian / Andrew Wood [Wod] b.c. 1518, father of Katherine Wood McMoran
« on: Sunday 15 December 24 02:20 GMT (UK) »
Who were Andrew Wood's parents, wife, ancestors? His birth and marriage predates the Old Parish Records held by ScotlandsPeople. I've found no results from searching Ancestry, FamilySearch, Clan Wood website and keyword internet searching.
He was admitted into the Edinburgh Burgess in 1539. Earlier members of the Edinburgh Guild and Burgess were “Andrew, B. and G., "ad reqeuestem magestorum hospitii et eorum prepositi et datur gratis'' (gratis at the request of the masters of the hospital and their provost) 8 Jan. 1489-90; “Walter, B. and G., s. and h. of umq. John W. 23 Mar. 1508-9 and “Thomas, B., goldsmith, be r. of fr. John Wod, jun. 7 Aug. 1517” “Thomas, G., mt. 7 Aug. 1517.”
His daughter, Katherine, married William McMoran (spelling variations) as proved by William's admission into the Edinburgh Burgess and Guild in 1539. “Wm., B. and G., be r. of w. Katherine, dr. to Andrew Wod 30 Aug. 1539. Katherine and William's daughter, Issabell, married John McCall, “John, B., mt., be r. of wr. Issobell, dr. to Wm. Makmorane 5 Feb. 1561-2.”
Also, it appears that Andrew is of the Fifeshire Wood families and perhaps related somehow to Andrew Wood of Largo who was in the household of King James VI: a carver (November 1577 - July 1582), appointed coroner of Fife (July 1582), and comptroller (July 1585 - July 1587). He was the great grandson of Admiral Andrew Wood of Leith.
Has anyone researched this family or have any suggestions for other websites I can search to find info on Andrew Wood, father of Katherine McMoran?
Cheers!
