Find Ancestors

I am not 100% that Elizabeth Martin is Joseph Henry Wood's wife the mother of my GGF Joseph henry victor Wood as when I search a birth for Joseph HV Wood I can not see a mothers maiden name but when you search the 1901 and 1911 census they are the same family but Joseph HV Wood went under the name Harwood which is Elizabeth second husband's surname

Dont know if that any help.

Do you think he may have changed hes name at marriage then???

Found this census for 1871 .....might be something but thereagain might be nothing at all!

Note this William is a Cab Driver and they are living 20 Bryan St Islington the same Street that Joseph Henry was living in when he got married to Elizabeth Martin.

Mmmm that does seem a little odd :-S

Just looking at the marriage cert for Joseph Henry Wood and Elizabeth Martin again and both have signed their names but for Joseph it looks as if he has signed it Joseph Henry Denny and the surname Denny has had a line put through it with the name 'Wood' written above; the initials J.H.W are to the left of this alteration.....not sure if this is significant or not but it does seem to be a bit strange!

ok thank you for help though I will try and give you what I have but it is not alot. I did find that there were so many Joseph Henry's thats why I got a little confused and as I am not that experience i got lost

Thanks LB :-D

Yes I know what you were looking for but you did not give any ages for Joseph even though you had found a death, Nor did you mention his mother had remarried

You may have the infomation but we do not I'm affraid

I can see this is going to get confusing, Astra with all these Joseph Henrys!
