Thread: james wood of scotland

ken2410 · 26-08-2008, 09:12 AM

looking for james wood born 1831.
all census results from 1861 show birth place as Scotland, but not district.
This wouldnt be so bad, but it is a very common name.
Married Mary Ann Laws 06 May 1861 at Newcastle

Hi Ken,

there are 24 James Wood's born in Scotland between the years 1830 -1832. If you have his marriage Cert, which will give his father's name, we might be able to narrow this down a tad..

ken2410 · 26-08-2008, 09:39 AM

father named as Robert Wood, labourer of Scotland.
sorry no further info.

Raven · 26-08-2008, 11:11 AM

HI Ken,

Have entered the name of Robert Wood as father this time whilst searching on Scotland's People and it has resulted in one.

24/04/1832 James Wood
Parents:Robert Wood and Sarah Forrester FR576
Parish: Ayton
City/County Berwick.
GROS ref: 727/0030/0050

I suppose it could be possible as Berwick and Newcastle aren't that far from one another.

Hi Raven,

Thanks for that bit of information. My grandfather's step-mother's relatives moved from Berwick and Roxbrugh to Newcastle. I had always assumed it was a long way.

Star you are only talking about 60 miles... so not that far really

ken2410 · 26-08-2008, 09:37 PM

Raven you are a star!
sorry about delay, but I had to go to work
thanks again ken

If I remember my school day history its about 3 miles from the Scottish border but correct me if I'm wrong

Raven · 26-08-2008, 11:08 PM
