You need to be more precise,

Have you got any of the children's wedding certificates to know if he were still alive then, as no obvious Wood deaths in Norfolk appearing?
Thanks

hello Christine.
My Water was born 9th October 1859 in Norwich. Norfolk. son of Harriet and John Samuel Wood.
He married 1888, Norwich. Norfolk.
Last child John.S. was born 1899
Alice died 1904,
Walter was living on 1911 Census in Norwich. Norfolk,
possibly at Stacy Road.
In 1929 there is still a Walter living there as head of house but gone in 1931.
John Samuel maybe his son is now head man of this address. As his brother also a John Samuel died in 1920.
Gee whiz this is looking confusing now.

Regards Rita
