George Wood

[verarose]

I am searching for the death of a George Wood Royal Marine Artillery born 1832 Alverstoke Hants.
Married to Elizabeth Phillips 1857.
I have a death in Peiho in China 1859.
Anyone know how to confirm if this is the George Wood that I am searching for. 
Thanks.

Is Elizabeth shown as a widow on the 1861 census

Thanks Carol but wondered if census M or a W.
She also has another child in May 1862 naming George Wood as father.
 remarriage in the June 3 weeks later.
Would love to confirm the father.
12 years hunting answer.

There is an 1861 entry for an Elizabeth Wood aged 48 b Devon & living in Alverstoke shown as wife of gunner in RN

They married in Alverstoke RD in 1857,  where did Elizabeth remarry and to whom.

I see you posted in January about George and I asked for some information but you did not reply

Tom Grant Hellier in June 1862.
One month after naming George as father at baptism. 
I would think divorce rare although he ison ship in 1862.
Assume it was his death in China

If it is your Elizabeth Wood(s) living in Forton in 1861 occ Beer House Keeper bn Forton with son George also bn Forton and sister Mary Phillips then census states she is W (widowed). Married people on the same page are showing as 'Mar'.
