    1. [CHS] Occupation of John WOOD on daughter Mary's marriage.

    3. Hi Christine, John Wood is a Mineral Water Manufacturer. The Whittaker/Wood marriage licence gives their addresses as : Arthur Henry Whittaker of Coare Street in the Parish of St Michael, Macclesfield aged 23 and Mary Wood of 11 Mill Street, Macclesfield aged 21. The 1881 Census has the Whittaker family at 68 Coare Street and Mary Wood living at 11 Mill Street with her father Thomas W, a confectioner b. St Neots Huntingdonshire, with Mary's birthplace as Congleton. Stupidly/regretfully, I then started to hunt for Thomas in 1871. FMP then went silly and wouldn't allow me to get back to the 1881 info before I'd fully recorded it. Hope this helps to make a fresh start for you. It's possible that Mary's father's first name was incorrectly noted - it's something that happens frequently I find. I'll have another go later once FMP has calmed down (and me). Ruth
