Hi Wend,

Sorry for the delay, had a busy day. Thanks so much for those links, I'd seen one or two of them before, but the rest were great new info! Those engravings in particular sound very interesting, thanks especially for sending the link to that one. I've looked through most of the links, and while one or two are of a completely different John Stamp (who, as you say, was sometimes mistaken for John Sundius Stamp), these links for the most part are very accurate. I had no idea how many records there were of Rev. John Stamp and his son Rev. John Sundius Stamp.
Thanks for looking in the South Cave records, maybe the North Cave records will have a bit more in the Wood family (please feel free to ask on Rootschat on my behalf).

Regarding Ann Wood, I thought I might have seen a baptism from 1768 at North Cave, but I haven't recorded it if I did, so can't be certain of that. I may have seen it on a family tree, not caring to look if there were sources or not. However, the 1766 possibility was from the burial record, though, as you say, that could be a complete guess.

In terms of evidence of her parentage, records say her father was John Wood of North Cave, an early supporter of Methodism. And as for her mother, the records you mentioned when writing to Kayzee ten years ago seemed to be rather conclusive that her mother was a Stather. In addition, Ann Wood's eldest daughter was named Sarah Stather Stamp, and there is a record of John Wood marrying Anne Stather in 1763 in North Cave. I think I found that one on the FindMyPast website.

Best, Tom

Hi, I'm a descendant of John Stamp and Ann Wood, here mentioned to be residing at Doncaster, Yorkshire in 1807. I can see that these messages regarding the Wood family are from 10 years ago, but I was wondering if since then you've been able to find any mention of the Wood family in the North Cave burial records. Being Methodists, they seem to be very difficult to trace. I've seen conflicting dates of birth for Ann Wood, one record saying she was born in 1768, another 1770, though her burial record in 1811 in Mansfield says she was aged 45 (hence born c.1766). So I was wondering if there might be any mention of the Woods in North Cave, or perhaps of John Stamp (who was a Methodist Rev.)
