Hi Stanley,

I am new to this site, and have just seen your message.  Do you have any information on this Woods family who lived in Godalming?
Henry Thomas Woods b.1809/1811, married Charlotte Charman.  He was a frame work knitter.
They had several children including Arthur b. 1840. Arthur married Ann Mann from Nottingham in 1872.  Their children were Alfred, Arthur, William, Herbert, Percy.

Any info. would be appreciated.

 Thanks,
Catbells

Ref the Charlotte Charman who married Henry Thomas Woods 21/12/1829 at Walworth St Peter.

Charlotte was baptised 16/5/1797 in Haslemere, the daughter of Daniel Charman and Ann Berry. I have a few more generations of this Charman line sorted out. Please email me at *if you'd like the detail.

Regards, Colin Charman

Hello!

Today I am trying to use local Godalming records to prove or disprove my hypothesis that "John Wood of Portsmouth", who emigrated to the American Colonies before 1643 and died in Rhode Island in 1655, was originally of Godalming. 

When John Wood died in 1655 his children were named in court records. We know his children included

"oldest son" George (b. bef. 1620),
a son "John" (b. abt 1620) died in 1704 "aged 84".
A third son "William" and
a forth son "Thomas" were also named, but little is known of them.
Several daughters were named, however these may have been born in the colonies.

I understand that the ‘Percy Woods index’ can be searched only through the Museum local studies library - but the library is closed at this time due to the pandemic.

Is there any online source for accessing the ‘Percy Woods index’? 

Alternatively, is there anyone whose family tree includes a "John Wood" born abt 1620 to father John Wood"? Name variations of course possible :-)

Thanks!
Mike Wood
