Hi Lesley and Listers Can anyone help me please I have been tracing a Thomas Wood and got on the wrong track, I thought he was the son a free person who had arrived on the Albion 1828, but I now believe he was a convict who arrive on the Mangles 1820. I have seen his marriage to Mary McInerney 1837 at St. Marys Sydney so he was free by then I also have his death certificate from Grenfell NSW. He states when he married he was from Currawang (Harden). I would love to know what he was up to between 1820 and 1837 when he married. Cheers Rhonda

Currawong was a sheep & cattle station outside Harden/Murrumburrah taken up by Joseph and James Roberts about 1828.

Rhonda That Thomas Wood married another women in 1829 and applied for permission to marry her because he was not free. He didn't receive a Conditional Pardon until early 1838 - therefore, I think you still have the wrong person. Did you receive my reply to your question on Genanz?

Hi Rhonda, Sorry, seeing your email on the PJ list, reminded me that I haven't replied to your email.... The Woods branch has been a mystery for years. Every descendant I have contacted, is stuck at who John Woods' (married to Mary Withers 1866) parents were. John Woods' parents are not listed on his 1866 Marriage certificate. The only source I've found so far, that gives the first hint of who John's parents might have been is his death certificate and then only his mother... 'Mary McInerney'. One has to be a bit skeptical of this information given in 1911. I contacted the Crookwell Historical Society years ago and was most excited when they told me they had a book that mentioned John's parents... 'Residents and Settlers Register Crookwell District pre 1888, printed 1988' Woods, John b.1842 Liverpool, NSW - wife: Hannah Withers - Parents: Thomas Houston Wood/Jane Purcell Unfortunately its wrong. :p I contacted a descendant from the Wood/Purcell family. Same time line, different place. They settled up in northern NSW. The marriage certificate of Thomas Wood & Mary McInerney is just as useless. No ages or where they were born etc... John Woods was supposedly born at Liverpool (Liverpool Plains?) abt 1842. I could not find a birth registered for a John Wood/s from 1835-1850 to a Thomas & Mary. I also looked at the possibility that John was born out of wedlock, but again could not find a birth. Kind regards, Sherrie. P.S.
