Find Ancestors

Hi I need help. I would like to find the parents and sibblings of Thomas Wood born Cudham Kent abt. 1855. I have his marriage cert to Louisa Hyde 1879 Bromley Kent. Thomas 24 occup labourer father is recorded as Thomas Wood deceased occup labourer. Witness is a W. Wood and E. Caittall ?. 1881 census. Thomas 26 agr lab living Horns Green Kent, with wife Lousia 25 and baby Emily born cudham kent. 1891 Thomas 34 foreman lab, living Chelsfield Bromley kent, wife Lousia 33. I have tried to find Thomas on the 1861 census with his parents, but there seems to be quite a few Thomas Woods with fathers with same name in Kent., so unable to work out which maybe his family. Names of some of Thomas's (1855) children to wife Lousia are Emily, Jenny, Peracy, David, William, Leonard as recorded in the 1901 census in Essex, Rockford, Prittlewell. (note I have traced his wife's family) Would be greatful for any ideas. Many thanks

Cudham came under Bromley registration district which ties with the marriage etc.
This may be his birth
Name: Thomas Wood
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1855
Registration district: Bromley
Registration County: Greater London, Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 181


however if his birth on the census shows as 1855 then I would expect this one to show as 1856 as its after the census month for 1861

Thanks Vera, not sure what, or how the surname Fahse Germany got on my thread.

That is who Shirley is researching.

Regards Vera
