I think I've finally found John in 1911, birthplace mistranscribed as Ykeckmonresike.

If this is the correct one he was born 1873, married to Charlotte for 17 years.


In 1901 the same person is using the name Henry, age 29, born Dewsbury. Eldest child is 7. Henry is an iron worker.


I can only find a Jonathan in 1891 with mother Harriett.

Do you have his marriage cert?

Sorry to ask this, but how do you know that James is his dad? I'm not sure that I am understanding it.

I nave just had a 3 yr search done for a birth of john henry wood did not find him i think maybe he had another sirname his dad james wood wed a hannah sykes in birstall in 1871 john birth  birth was abt 1866 heckmonwike dewsbury i got that from 1911 cen thanks ann

The one we are looking at in 1911 is born 1873 not 1866- have we got the wrong one in 1911?

Maybe I have got the wrong one in 1911 but he's the only John Henry I can find born Heckmondwike so we'll have to wait for Ann to come back to the thread.

It does appear that it could be the same Ann who posted a note against the marriage to Charlotte Cocking.

If John Henry was born or bapt 1866 surely he would be named John Henry Sykes if his spinster or widow mum was Hannah Sykes?  5 years later James Wood married Hannah Sykes in 1871 in Birstall

Christine says 1873 as John Henry Wood birth year from 1911 c Rotherham as Charlotte Cocking seems the correct wife for Christines find and has the Heckmonwicke birth link. 1911  seems funny we can't find them 71,81,91,1901 censuses.

I think I also saw a John Wood b Heckmondwike with parents Joseph and Mary.
We don't know yet how James and Hannah come into this.

If we have the right family in 1911, then there is a marriage certificate which would then confirm his father's name. Maybe Ann has that  We'll have to wait for her to come back.

If Kate Orette Wood born 28th May 1858 & father was James Wood mother Mary Jepson -Kate Oretta was John Henry Wood sister and John Henry Wood was born about 1866

Who is Hannah or how are James and Hannah Skyes married 1871 connected a lot later or was this James's twice married after Mary Wood had died.

Its like a itch you can't quite reach.
