George Wood
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 14:40 BST (UK) »
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.

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'.
