Just going back to one of my lines and I have a marriage for John Wood married to Elizabeth Maxey Aug 12th 1812 Swinstead, can any one find this on line I was wondering if it had his fathers name?

Researching:
Ringrose from Countesthorpe Lord and Burley from Countesthorpe...Dixon Dawson Wood and Wilkinson from Caistor ,Starkey and Wood from Edendam. Hare from Horncastle.

Fathers names were'nt usually given until 1837. Have you looked for his baptism on Family Search?

Sidami .............

he could have come from Selby, but his residence is shown as Swinstead ......... he could have moved there, or lived there for a short time before the marriage.
