Experienced person needed to take a look at a birth cert.this week i recieved a birth cert i ordered,with great excitement i opened it up only to be more confussed!!
Robert Wood b 21st Jan 1850 Halstead Essex
mothers name
Eliza Wood!!
fathers name
ROBERT to my huge disappointment,i cant read the fathers surname,although its definately not Wood.
apart from this all it tells me is that his father was a servant!!

May not be relevant to your research but did you notice the Wood family who were living next door but one on the 1851 census:-

Hannah Wood abt 1841 Bocking, Essex, England Daughter Bocking, Essex

Mary Wood Thomas,Susannah abt 1839 Bocking, Essex, England Daughter Bocking, Essex

Susannah Word abt 1796 Bocking, Essex, England Wife Bocking, Essex

Thomas Word abt 1782 Coggeshall, Essex, England Head Bocking, Essex

Yes Catherine - thanks.

I had noticed this and suspect they may be Robert Wood's parents but have not found anything to prove this yet!

Many thanks though.

I also know that this is the correct Robert as I have his christening in Bocking so that is where I expected him to be:

ROBERT WOOD

Birth: 21 JAN 1850

Christening: 08 DEC 1850 Independent, Bocking, Essex, England


Parents:
Father: ROBERT WOOD Family
Mother: TAMER ELIZA

I had a quick look on 1841 census and the two families are living next door to each other, but wife is noted as Hannah Wood abt.1806

Hannah Wood abt 1806 Essex, England Bocking, Essex

Hannah Wood abt 1840 Essex, England Bocking, Essex

Mary Wood abt 1839 Essex, England Bocking, Essex

Thomas Wood abt 1786 Essex, England Bocking, Essex

Going to have to leave this for a while - untill I can see that cert!

Dea x

.........Been out! .......Come back!.......... Cert still not arrived!

Drat!!!

Dea x

Hellooooo Lisa,

Are you home yet?

Dea Xxx

Yes Cagsie - I had it all at 7.30 this morning - I have quite forgotton what I have found now !!

To be fair though - some people go to work for the day, BUT, It would help if they put up a question when they came home (and had an hour or so to follow it), rather than 2 minutes before they went to work.

(NO offence meant Lisa!!)

Come back SOON!!!!!

Dea x

Sorry all you FANTASTIC people im awaiting the imminent arrival of my husband,who will scan cert ,sa i am useless on the pc,please be patient with me,your help is VERY much appriciated.kind regards Lisaxxx

cert copy received and replied that it looks like Robert Turner to me .

Shirley

Have you got that sorted yet? Good luck!

SR

hi guys,two of you think its the same name,so that sounds promising.
Dea you said on your reply something about his christening,how & where did you find it.The date matches up exactly!
the other problem im having is finding Eliza,any takers?

Cert received.

I would certainly say it is Robert Turner also

I will have a little look for Eliza - it is 'Grand-daughter day' today though so I won't be able to do much till she goes home!

Dea x

P.S. christening was found on:

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Thanks Dea,now iv got the info im not sure what to do with it?do you have to pay to join familysearch.org.only this is working out an expensive hobby,regards Lisaxx
ps have a good grand daughter day!! do you think Eliza gave her baby away?

No Lisa - that one is a free site!

I have a few theories about Eliza + Robert but that is all they are until I have followed them through.

I MAY just have her on 1841 but it needs 'working on' !

Will be back as soon as I can sort it for you.
