Find Ancestors

Thank You ! For all the insight I will have to dig a little deeper and I hope that soon I will be back with new info.

FreeBMD isn't fully transcribed up to the mid-20th century yet, so I checked at Ancestry (pay site). There is a Margaret Wood mother Latham born in 1940, but in Wellington ("Gloucestershire, Shropshire, Herefordshire" per Ancestry) which seems off? There's no William Wood mother Latham.

If you search for the parents' births at FreeBMD -- this is what the rest of us would do -- you'll have their birth years.

Post them here and someone with full access to the 1911 census will probably be able to identify them as children with their families in that census.

You can also use the free search facility to search for them, but it's then more complex to search for others of the same surname "living with" them.

But it's always worth giving these things a try to get a feel for the resources!

Actually, your couple married in Wolverhampton, and there were quite a number of Wood/Latham marriages, so the two couples are likely unrelated.

To find whether she had siblings -- search here

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

for births with surname Wood and mother's surname Latham.

The marriage is also there, and yes, it was in 1927.

Mary was born in Leicester.

-- edit Sat 9 Apr -- I put the wrong birth for Mary! Not Leicester, but this one:

Name: Mary E Wood
Mother's Maiden Surname: Latham
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1929
Registration district: Newport Sh
Registration county: Gloucestershire, Shropshire, Herefordshire
Volume Number: 6a
Page Number: 1038

I have also now sent Elizabeth the details for Margaret born 1940.

I am trying to locate my family on my mothers side Her full maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Wood she was born on Sept. 13, 1929 Her parents where Edward Casewell Wood and Olive Gladys Wood maiden name Latham. I think her parents where married in June 1927 I believe that Mary E Wood was born in Newport , but spoke often of Burmingham.I believe that the family owned a gas station during wwII.
There are two other siblings I think there names where Margarett and William. She lived in Catania Sicily with Alfred Roy Chamberlain in 1960 and also became my mother on Dec 25th 1960. If anyone has any leads for me I thank you in advance.
