Just to add I said "With that in mind there is only one birth registered for an Ettie WOOD" I obviously didn't finish the sentence, it should have continued With that in mind there is only one birth registered for an Ettie WOOD (or WOODS) up to 1884 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi Rick > > The first problem is knowing if "Ettie" was actually her name or an > abbreviation, I have generally found that the name given at marriage or > for official documentation is usually their correct name > > With that in mind there is only one birth registered for an Ettie WOOD > > Name: Ettie Wood > Year of Registration: 1873 > Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep > District: Barton Upon Irwell (1850-1934) > County: Lancashire > Volume: 8c > Page: 575
