Thanks, Heather. My Wood was from Cheshire, but was stationed at Gosport. He married my great great great grandmother, but she was already married. Her first husband later remarried - after having been separated from her for more than 20 years - but ended up in court charged with bigamy. He was not convicted. No Blake connection with Andover, so far as I know. Blake's such a common name and I haven't dealt with them yet.

The family then moved back to Amy's home in Lancashire. I do have a BLAKE connection in Andover!
