Hi Milliepede I was looking at the following

Gladys Muriel Wood 17 is a pupil in Bangor Wales 1911, in Hertfordshire 1921 she died 1956 Northampton  Probate to sister Gloria Christabel Wood Paranagua

Gloria Wood 13 is a pupil in Yorkshire 1911, still in Yorkshire 1921. There is  a 1947 passenger list for Gloria Paranagua leaving Southampton

I can't see anything obvious for their parents deaths between 1901 - 1911  :-\ apart from a death Dec 1911 Chorlton for a Guy Wood age 57 born c1854

Thanks to DNA tests we have found quite a few “disappearances” were due to emigration to USA, Canada & Australia that have not necessarily shown up in the Passenger Records.

We have been able to trace “DNA Cousins” back to the “disappeared” person.

there are several records of Mr G H Wood & wife travelling across the Atlantic in first class, but one of them shows him as George Herbert, a bond dealer. So this family in 1911 with daughter b. 1900
