Find Ancestors

Hi, I’m trying to find any descendants of Henry E Wood born in 1869 in Kingsland, London, England.
I thought that our family tree name would end with my generation as there are no more males with sons to carry on the name – then I found Henry’s family in the 1910 census. It is possible that I have living relatives of whom I’m unaware. How does one track down recent family lines which are likely to contain living people?

More details about Henry:
His wife was named Augusta, born 1866 in Clapton. They had 5 children Dorris 1896, Ellis 1898, Marjorie 1901, Malcolm 1901, and Philip 1906. His father is Alfred Thomas Wood 1830, and his mother Emma Maria Ellis 1831-1895.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your input. Although I have been able to use Genes Reunited to track down many of my relatives, I don't know too much about using death certificates to further my search. Could you please tell me what the reference E 74 Rochford 4a 717 means? If I were to send away for the death certificate would that give me the details of the person who lodged it?
Regards
Colin
