Hi All
I'm trying to make a connection with the Jemima Wood mentioned below and Willoughby on the Wolds. Is anyone able to make any suggestions please. I've drawn a blank - there's a birth record for a Jemima Wood which ties in but that's a birth in Nottingham. I've assumed from the below that Jemima was born in Willoughby but I can't find any other connection - thanks in advance
