Hi Dave,
well if they were giving marks for effort and enthusiasm - you would be A*. 

In 1871 - James is boarding ar 2 Batty's Yard Leeds  (West) so no area shown.

Somewhere back in the thread, someone (apologies) has mentioned a birth for John Wood? in same quarter as the marriage or at least the quarter after which could be a good bet.

Hi Hey

Would not put all my thinking on line normally but Chistine asked Ann to put info on line for all to read.

I'm trying to think which parish around Batley-Morley-Leeds area on the Dewsbury Leeds rail line where John Henry might have been baptized

He's 8 years old in 1881 and he's not with sister Kate or brother George.
If James is dead by 1881 c then he's with Hannah as 1891c maybe a workhouse at Staincliffe or Rotherham maybe or Domestic service.

Jack H Wood
or Just Jack or Jon
Jonny- Jimmy (Mistranscribed) -Johnny Etc.

I honestly think we have come to the end of our searching. It's up to Ann to perhaps ask for a different search- at registry office not on rootchat - 

Not sure which ones she has asked for but I think this is the one I think I meant 
1871
June quarter : Wood  John     Dewsbury  9b 559

best wishes

(hoping to now retire from this until Ann comes back with some sort of comment.

Still waiting for any clues re witnesses at John/Charlotte marriage.
However, they were to point us to him and I think we have him now in 1881 anyway.

I have to agree with everyone that Ann needs to try for a birth reg 1871-1873.

Of course there's always the possibility that he wasn't registered because although it was compulsory it was up to the registrar to seek out the births before 1874

This is an extract detailing this.

Originally, the registrars had to travel around and visit the people who had an event and make a note of the details. A new Act of 1874 removed this and it was up to the people to visit the local registrar office to record the event.


This is another possibility for the birth.

Births Mar 1872   

Wood    John         Dewsbury    9b   604

Hi Christine,

Did they have apdoption ( ie;- at say a 10 year old child! if Hannah could not have children) them days ?

With no Bapt, Birth or 1881c records of John Henry (Wood ?)

Just a thought
Dave

[Christine in Portugal]

There were no legal adoptions until the 1920's.

I think John and Hannah and maybe James are either very badly transcribed in 1881 or are missing from the census.

I have a couple of families I have been unable to find in various years.

It's now up to Ann to come back to the thread.
