Well, once you have got the death certificate, we can then see if that helps to pin down Michael.

No Patchem, only received this information today so it is all very new to me.

Have you got Dilys's death certificate for the name of the informant, etc?

Peter

Peter Report 10 Nov 2013 19:12

Thank you but I already have that information and it doesn't pertain at all to his first wife or their son.

Peter i don't "need" to know, i was just trying to be helpful, figure it out and make some sence of it all.

I was looking to see what happened to Harold Wood.....which is why i asked when and where he was born and who his parents were.

Peter

Peter Report 10 Nov 2013 18:46

Why do you need to know who his parents are?

PricklyHolly

PricklyHolly Report 10 Nov 2013 18:43

In your opening post, you state that Harold Wood is your Uncle........later you state that Harold is your Great Uncle.

When and where was Harold born and who were his Parent's?

I do have a problem as this thread was started after talking to a cousin of my dad's today ... nothing more to offer! Is there a Michael L Wood in Brighton? Or Michael L Wakeman in Brighton?

Thank you again!

Loads of possible marriages in the name of Michael L Wood but without some idea of when or where you have a problem

have you used the "Search" facility top right hand corner of this page to see if he features in any trees on this site?

Peter Report 10 Nov 2013 18:15

Thank you everyone - Harold is my great uncle and Dilys was from his first marriage.

As you may imagine, there was no contact after the divorce, and I am now looking to see if I can make touch with Michael Langburn Wood.

Is there a sign of a marriage for him?

With the surname of Wood being very common you are going to have to buy a lot of marriage certs in the name of Michael L Wood to solve this one unless you have any idea if he married and where

Hi Peter

Can you give us some dates and family members please

Peter

Peter Report 10 Nov 2013 17:18

Hi there,

I am looking for some information on my aunt, Dilys Wood (nee Morley). She married my uncle Harold Wood in 1946 in Surrey and had a son Michael Langburn Wood later that same year.

Dilys and Harold divorced in 1953 and I am looking for some information on what became of Dilys and Michael after this date. Can someone help please?

Thank you, in anticipation,

Peter
