Evening All

Can someone please check the above couple out for me please.

James Wood and Lydia are my 3xgreat grandparents.

I have found them on the 1841,1851 census alive and well. With two children William born 1827 & Stephen born 1833

I have the death certificate for James Wood. He died October 1859 at Gt.Braxted. District Witham,Essex.

Lydia died 1863.

Now this is were I am confused.

I checked Family Search for records and came across. James Wood Burial. 08 May 1823 Gt.Braxted. Married. Spouse Lydia Huxter.

Could this have been there marriage?

I hope it all makes sense.

According to a Public Family Tree on ancestry, James Wood was born in 1795, Essex

Hi Sylvia

Yes that is the couple. What I was wondering is if Family Search made a mistake and perhaps it should have been there marriage.
