My GGgrandparents were James Horsley Rhodes (b.1861-2) and Hannah (Annie) Eliza Wood (b.1862-3) from Malton.

They had my Ggrandfather, Herbert Wood, out of wedlock in 1881. They later went on to get married in 1885 and have further children:

James Rhodes (b.1885)
Clara Rhodes (b.1886)
John William Rhodes (b.1887, died.1893)
A fifth child (b.1889) who I think was called Jane but died at 2 years old.
Arthur Rhodes (b.1891)
Edith Rhodes (b.1893)
Eva Rhodes (b.1896)
Maud Rhodes (b.1898)

All the children were born in Malton, but by the 1901 census the family were living in Hunslet, Leeds. All apart from their son James who stayed in Malton as a butcher's apprentice.

I would love to hear from any descendants of James and Hannah (aka Annie/Ann) Rhodes' children or anyone who can share any information on their lives.
