    1. [LONDON] LMA Lookup Request
    2. Peter Rimell via
    3. If anyone is visiting the LMA in the near future and is able to do a lookup for me I would be very grateful. I am trying to find out more about the death of Ellen WOOD at St Olaves Union Infirmary on 13th October, 1877 aged 21 years. Any details about her admission and time there would be appreciated. I am trying to break down a brick-wall in my tree and ordered the death certificate in the hope that she might be the Ellen WOOD in my tree. My wife's grandmother was Lois WOOD who was born on 24th February 1875 at 97 Park Street, Southwark. Her birth certificate records her parents as John WOOD (a carpenter) and Ellen WOOD, nee SMITH. I have not been able to find any further information about either Ellen or John. By the 1881 census Lois is recorded as Louise WOOD, a visitor, living with Henry SMITH (is there a connection?) and his wife Ann. They were still looking after Lois in 1891 when she is described as a relative, Henry's wife is now Amy and they also have their daughter Alice living with them. Any help very much appreciated in breaking down this wall -- Kind Regards Peter Rimell www.primell.co.uk
