Welcome to the boards, Leslie.

Were your parents married when you were born?

If so, have you got the marriage certificate for more information about him?

Have you also got his birth certificate?

Thank-you

Added:
Have you contacted the other members who have him in their trees on here?

Added:
The birth in Doncaster in 1947 is only for a John Wood, no middle name?

Researching:
I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!
