Find Ancestors

I was wondering if some one would be kind enough to do a look up on a William Wood
All I know is he was born in 1905 in a place called Fownhope Herefordshire.
He may of had upto 5 kids Albert Raymond Ernest possibly a Daphne and my mum Veronica..
I have no idea who his wife was silly I know but never knew my grandmother and have no idea who his parents were or if he had siblings.
Many thanks for any help..Mark

Can't see a birth for Veronica A. M. Wood or Woods around 1947

Mike info I got off my sister was it was 31st Aug and she would of been 64 this year thats why i put 1947. But it says on my birth cert Veronica Ann Marie Wood

???????
Veronica Anne M Evans
Birth Date: 31 Aug 1947
Date of Registration: Jul 1997
Age at Death: 49
Registration district: Hereford
Inferred County: Herefordshire, Monmouthshire
Register number: A14D
District and Subdistrict: 5161A
Entry number: 255

In that case, looks like we got it wrong Jonesey !!

, but all the info you gave points to William Wood marrying Lily Nicholls, with children Raymond, Alfred and Veronica .... but wrong initials for your mum .,,,

Sorry Mark.

I still think that we are on the right track. I believe that Lily May's mothers second name was Maria. There are many cases where the name a child was registered as changed either at baptism or at some other point in their lives.

Marriages Mar 1894 (>99%)
Nicholls Albert Pontypool 11a 173
Wood Margaret Maria Pontypool 11a 173

Deaths Sep 1908 (>99%)
NICHOLLS Albert 44 Monmouth 11a 14

Thats her Gwen Evans was her 2nd married name

Looks like....
The EVANS marriage was in 1982, the first marriage in the name of Veronica A M WOOD was in 1966.

Maybe the J was a name she chose not to use?

Gwyn

Mike i think your right to,It could be a typo error somewhere as the rest fits.Many thanks to you all for your help so far.. :-D

Now I really have lost the plot.

Lily May's mother was a Wood too ?


...and Who is Gwen Evans ?
