Wood & Southwell marriage 1915 Wandsworth

[carolcox]

I have Frederick A Wood born June 1921 Wandsworth using FreeBMD it says mother's maiden name: Southwell.  So I looked for a marriage of Woods to Southwell and came up with Albert J Wood and Sarah Marion Southwell again using FreeBMD. 

I cannot find a birth for Albert J Wood as I don't know his birth year.  If nobody can help I will send for their marriage certificate and hope that his father has a name that is easy to find. 

Thanks

How did you identify Sarah's middle name? She is just Sarah M on FreeBMD for the marriage.

Oh I see - you've presumably found the 1896 birth of Sarah Marion Southwell in Wandsworth.

Have you looked for a death for her?  Finding where she died may lead you to a death for her husband, and thereby his age or birthdate depending on the date of the death registration.

Just a note of caution - you have alighted upon this 1915 marriage, but have you also seen that in Dec qtr 1911 a Frederick W Wood married in Wandsworth to either Daisy Southwell or Mabel H Gadd?

Frederick William Wood married Mabel Harriet Gadd 7 Oct 1911

Ah good - that rules that one out then

Frederick A Wood married Enid M Clay in Fulham in Dec 1944.   I know that is definitely right.  I have his birth in 1921 and his sister Doris 1916.

Possibility (but marriage cert needed as you say) is Albert J Wood birth registered Wandsworth Q3 1899, son of Albert and Rosa, living in Wandsworth 1911 (Sarah M was born Battersea).  Does Rosa's name come down the family perhaps?

I found that as well, on 1901 census it says that were born in Clerkenwell.  I will send for his marriage certificate and hope the father is on it and also his age.
Thank you
