Trying to find Edward Wood born C 1833 Scarcliffe

Hello can anyone help me to find details about the parent or brothers sisters(if he had any) of Edward Wood. In the 1841 census Edward is living in Scarcliffe, where he was born, with the Handley family. William Handley is shown as head of house. There is no record of Edward being related to the family so I have no idea who they are. He was only 8 years of age so I can only assume they must have been some relation. I know about Edwards adult life as he was the father of my mums dad Frank. At this time he was living in Cuckney Nottinghamshire were my grandad and his siblings were all born. Would be very grateful for any info. Thanks Hazel
