Please could anyone lookup Henry Wood and Mary Wood (husband and wife) in the 1841 and 1851 census please. I would like to know when and where they were born. Their first child Henry was born in 1813 in Yalding, Kent and their last child Ann was born 1834 also in Yalding. Many thanks, Fern -x-.

Thanks Reggie. Even just to know how old they were in the 1841 census is better than nothing. Many thanks, Fern -x-.

Have you taken the birth info from the IGI? I ask because the two names appear on there..........but only as 'member submitted' entries. They are not extracted from parish records, so there is no batch info to tie together the two entries. I hope I'm wrong, and that you have some documentation to prove these children are siblings Reg
