Surname Forename(s) Year of Marriage
RYALL Eileen M 1946 Select
WOOD Micheal 1946

i think he died in 1997 or around that time but im not certain.

He could have been born Christmas Day as the birth was registered in the 1st qtr of 1922 so possibly born Christmas Day 1921.

When did he die as that registration may have his date of birth.

Christine

well i recognise the violet in that list as my grandad did have a sister called violet!

Yeah i will try and get the marriage certificate. Ive just been told he was born on christmas day! Hmmmm..i wonder how true that is! Hehe!

A lot of possible siblings, so the marriage found in 1912 could be correct but you need the cert to be sure.

Well done Christine, how did I miss that one!!
Jan

No evidence of middle name but no matter:

Name: Michael Wood
Spouse Surname: Ryall
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1946
Registration district: Sunderland
Registration county (inferred): Durham
Volume Number: 1a
Page Number: 2732

Get this and you will have his father's name and maybe a more certain age for him.

Jan

There's a Michael Wood.

Births Mar 1922 (>99%)
Wood Michael Black Sunderland 10a 1496

This will give his parents names.

Christine

No idea if this is relevant, seems a bit early, but keep it on the back-burner just in case:

Marriages Sep 1912 (>99%)
Black Elizabeth F Wood Sunderland 10a 136
Wood William Black Sunderland 10a 136

No i dont have any certificates at the moment, i know he married to Eileen ryall in 1947 if that helps....i also got his name wrong, it was Micheal Anthony not alan. sorry.

These are the only Alan Woods born Sunderland after 1920:

Births Jun 1927 (>99%)
Wood Alan Allard Sunderland 10a 1183
Births Jun 1930 (>99%)
Wood Alan Wood Sunderland 10a 1203

Who did he marry? No chance of a middle name I suppose?

Jan

I don't see an Alan Wood born in Sunderland with mmn Black.

There are quite a few births Wood mmn Black but no Alan.

Do you have his marriage cert for his father's name?

Christine

I would love help to find out about my great grandparents. all i know is my grandad was called Alan Wood and was born 1922 or 1923 in sunderland and i think his mams maiden name was black. any help would be greatly appreciated.
