    1. [MDX] WOOD - SMITH brick wall
    2. Peter Rimell
    3. Hello, I'm returning to a long-standing brick wall in the hope that someone can helm me break it down. My wife's grandmother was born Lois WOOD on the 18 jan 1875 at 97 Park Street, Southwark. I have her birth certificate and she is recorded as the daughter of John and Ellen WOOD. He was a carpenter and her maiden name is given as SMITH. I have not been able to find a marriage for John and Ellen. However, I do have the 1881 census for 70 Park Street, Southwark, where Henry and Ann SMITH are living with a 6 year old visitor Louise WOOD (born in Southwark). Henry is an engine fitter born in Goshill Lincoln in 1839 and Ann was born in Lincoln in 1833. In the 1891 Census Henry is living in Sumner Street, Southark but his wife's name is shown as Amy. They have a daughter, Alice, aged 19 and born in poplar. Louise WOOD is still living with them and she is listed as "relative" Is anyone able to shed more light on Henry and Ann (or Amy) SMITH and particularly whether they had a daughter, Ellen. Any help would be very much appreciated. Best Regards Peter Rimell
