Hello Boswell37 & King otg,

What wonderful information - I have been searching for such a very long time.
I want to thank you and the boss man for all your help.  There are many family members who will be delighted.
Do you think this Jeremiah is the son of Thomas or Jeremiah (Jerry Bach Gogerddan) or someone else?
Elijah's descendants, through daughter Jane Elizabeth Davies, now reach England, Channel Isles, USA and Australia.
Ever so pleased with the info - thanks again.

Earle

Boswell & King otg,

Re: Reply #19 & #25.
Please send me what info you have on Godfrey & Elijah's
birth/baptism date & place.  They are direct ancestors of family members.
Thanks much.

Earle

Please say where & when Godfrey was baptised.
And what is the other name that the Woods used?

Thanks.

To all,

I thank everyone who has spent time and effort in trying to resolve the true parentage of brothers Godfrey & Elijah Wood(s).  I now firmly believe that the only solution will be to uncover their birth/baptismal certificates or possibly an obituary written at time of death.
In summary:  Both marriage certificates list Jeremiah Wood, harpist, as father.  Godfrey was born c1836/7 from marriage & death certs. and was a witness at Elijah's wedding.  Godfrey died 2 Jan 1872 in St. Asaph, Flintshire.  1871 census states he was born in Llansilin, Denbighshire.  Elijah was born c1839/40 from marriage & death certs. and was present at Godfrey's death.  Elijah died 15 Apr 1899 in The Rectory, Llysfaen, Conway, Denbighshire.  1871 & 1891 censuses state he was born in St. Asaph, Flintshire and Denbigh, Denbighshire respectively. 
Thanks again for the wonderful help.

Hi king otg & Gadget,

Re: replies 12 & 13:
The 1861 Holywell, Flintshire census really throws me concerning the Wood(s) family.
Aliga is listed as unmarried but Elijah married Mary Roberts on 20 Aug 1860.  No relationship is given for Ellen other than she is a Widow.  Her age 56 rules her out as the Ellen (b. c1786) who had two children with Adam Wood who we earlier thought might be Godfrey & Elijah's parents according to Dr. Sampson's pedigree.  I do not know of Harrell.
I am stuck at the moment on how to determine the parents of Godfrey & Elijah.  Since their marriage certificates both state Jeremiah as the father, that seems to be the best info but which Jeremiah of several is correct?
More research!

Earle

Hello king otg,

Thank you for your response.
I agree with your and Gadget's (reply #7) rationale that a primary source is more valid than a pedigree compiled by several others.
Where did you find, "Thomas Wood who is present with Elijah in 1861."  I cannot find the two together.
If Jeremiah Wood is the father of Elijah & Godfrey - then which Jeremiah is it?  Jeremiah (Bach Gogerddan) had a son Jeremiah as did Thomas & Sylvaina.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi again Gadget,
Contacted Mr. Burton and he was not able to clarify the problem of Elijah & Godfrey's parents.  He put me in touch with Lord Thomas who has a connection with the Wood family.  He sent me a copy of the Wood pedigree by Dr.
Sampson which shows Adam & Ellen Wood as parents of
Elijah & Godfrey.  He stated that, "probably nobody knew
who was whose father."
I am now back where I started - but, your rationale makes the most sense.  If I could just find their birth/baptismal
records.
Thanks again for your excellent assistance.

Earle

Hi Gadget,
I have sent an email to Mr. Burton at the Llansilin History Society concerning Godfrey Wood and family.  Will keep you informed.
Best wishes,

Gadget,
I agree with your rationale concerning the possibility that Edward, snr is Jane's father and grandfather of John and Edward, jnr.  It begs the question though as to who was the father of John and Edward, jnr?  Their birth/baptismal
records are so important if available.
I sure appreciate your continued help.
Earle
