I see that on the 1901 census, son Henry, aged 6, was born Edinburgh. I'll go check for a birth/marriage up there.

are you serious???  I have checked that damn thing every which way from Sunday...just did it again....I must be blind.

There are a couple of WOOD M no age coming the same route in 1905 (where is my memory when I need it?)  but unless he was in for a suprise with little James he had to have been with her until about mid year 1903 more or less  for conception which could have him leaving sometime after 1903....Right?? don't shut me down again

p.s. just found them on the untranscribed index at the National Archives....it must be your Welsh blood....you are like a bloodhound  lmao

This 1901 family look as if they have been around a bit    The house seems to also be a lodging house. I can't find a good match for Charles in Eng or Wales  or Scotland on the 1891

It does say she is going to meet her husband but a lot of the rest of it is kind of blobby.

re your last post............see what we have been going through??? lol  Is it possible to do a marriage search with just the wife's first name??  Although, at this point we can't be sure his first name is really Charles now can we?

Oh and Hi Gadget....haven't "seen" you for awhile.

Hi Dolly

It does look as if I've stumbled on possibly the right family. The ships list image on FindMyPast didn't have a separate category for Wales - just lumped them with England (my Welsh blood boiling  ) but yours has them as Wales! Same ones though 

I think that we'd have to go through all the Wood and Woods to find a marriage. Not up with Canadian BMDs - can you find a death for a Kate/Catherine/Katherine Wood(s) around that time?

Gadget

[dollylee]

WE sure can but Canada didn't seem all the interested whether you reported a death or not.  Might take a while as there is no really comprehensive site.

If you have a membership to findmypast could you check out:

Wood Charles H. 35 M 1904 Liverpool to Quebec and view the image?

If not I can start trolling through the non transcribed versions.
This last visit to findmypast I realized I was looking for WoodS....it seems to go either way on this post.

dollylee

Thanks again for getting us going somewhere with this !!!

It's 4:15 a.m. here and I am losing steam...I forgot to tell you we have been looking for a death of a "generic" female woods in the right time frame and have not been able to find anything yet.  Hope the first name helps.
