Hello all, This is just a short e-mail to introduce myself and record my interests in case someone else is researching the same branch of the WOODS family. I am Dan Daniel resident in Durban South Africa. My maternal grandfather was a WOODS, hence my interest in the WOODS family. I am also researching my paternal line which is Daniel. The progenitor of the WOODS family I am researching was James WOODS born 1801 in (town unknown) England, died 27 January 1847 Brixton London England, buried Norwood cemetery Brixton London England, occupation cheesemonger. He married Ann Pontifex on 31 January 1833 at All Saints Church Edmonton Middlesex England. Ann Pontifex was born 14 April 1810 Mitcham Surrey and died 25 January 1856 presumably also in Brixton London England, buried Norwood cemetery Brixton London England. They produced seven children, one of whom came to South Africa: Edwin Woods, born 21 October 1844 Brixton Rise Lambeth England and died 25 May 1901 Pretoria South Africa. My sources for the above are both primary and secondary and are available. Is this line being researched by any other member of the list? I look forward to responses.
