i think you would need to see if you can fnd who he married to get his fathers name. too many john woods in kent b abt that time.,and more than one with a brother john. |

He married sarah hurst in western australia in 1844. But we can't trace anything beyond the marriage here. Rumour has it he was a ships carpenter but nothing to substanitate |

still waiting on the marriage certificate to arrive from WA. Not sure if Western Australian marriage certs from 1844 will have much detail though- there were only about 100 people in the region at the time and most certificates have a lot of "unknowns" on them. |
