This looks like Ann Addicott in 1871:

RG10/2384 Folio 80 Page 10

Roadside or Readside, Lyng, Bridgewater, Somerset

?Innperona Hillman, wid, 60, Dairy woman, b. Somerset, ?
George Hillman, s, 28, Dairy man, b. Somerset, ?
Francis Hillman, s, 20, Dairy man, b. Somerset, ?
Ann Addicott, serv,  20, Servant, b. Somerset, North Petherton

The handwriting is terrible!

Before that, there's only the ones I've found 

[waiteohman]

I believe this to be Charles on the 1891 Wales census

Wales, Glamorgan, Eglwysilan
Household # 180
Address: looks like Porrott Inn
John Jenkins Head
Barbara Jenkins wife
Barbarra Jenkins daughter
Charles Wood age 21 single boarder born Devon England occupation may be employed as coal Haulaur?
William Preston boarder

Good Day Everyone,
   
I've been recapping and I think Nacy made a good point, we can rule Ediburgh out for Henry's birth place...

......I would think that the location for Henry is incorrect if this is the family.  He was probably born in Eglwysilan which borders Glamorgan and Monmouthshire.  It's the only parish that would fit unless the family moved around a lot?

There are quite a few <name> Henry Wood in the Cardiff/Bridgend/Newport area 1896-1900, so not sure.

There is also a very interesting one which might fit the 1901, aged 6 one:

Charles Henry Wood, Newport, June q,  1896.

So which is what and what is which 

These seem to fit together with Charles being in Eglwysilan, what do you think?

[JoMC]

What is more interesting is the 2 year old Henry Wood living with Ann Kate's parents on the 1901.

Now here's a turn up for the books:

in 1901:

RG13/5047 Folio 25 Page 41
Trott's Lodging House, Cowbridge

Henry Trott, 60, Coal Merchant and Lodging House Keeper, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Ann, 50, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Henry W, s, 20, saddler, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge
Annie, d,15, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge (Sarah A on the 1891)
Minnie, d,13, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge (Susannah on 1891)
Henry Wood, Grandson, 2, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge

So is this the same Henry who is down as aged 6 with Charles and Kate and a duplicate entry (it often happened) or what

Added - still concerned about Ann (mother) she's down in the censuses as born 1851-54

Personnally I would rule that Henry aged 2 out as son of Ann Kate (Annie). She would have been 13 having him and about 12 when she got pregnant.  Probably another siblings child I would think.

Linda

Ann Kate's maiden name was Trott. She married Charles Wood in 1898. The Trott family have a grandson listed with them as Henry Wood. Are you suggesting that they had another daughter who married a Wood ?

Yes but.... you know what family nicknames are like.

If they Called Ann Kate Kate and Sarah Annie.

Am I making sence  

[JoMC]

I think Linda is getting very confused. Ann Kate (as Kate)  was married in 1901 and living with Charles . This is most likely their son.

Linda - just have a look through the info and dates again!

So was the daughter the Anne Kate who married Charles, then and we are looking for too old an Ann/Kate as that was her mother.....How interesting this has become....These mysteries are a marvalous puzzle....wish I had more time to do more than just read...by the time I read through again to make sense of it all I have to run....
 
Looking forward to the next read later this evening...who knows what will be found!

Oh, wait....I saw another Anne Kate somewhere and wondered where she came in....
I'm looking back on that one before I go....
