Thanks, I think you have discovered some relevant gen. Henry's parents were Henerey (strange spelling I know but could be handwriting error) and mother Ester unknown (once again, spelling of the era) Hester and Ester are too close not to be one and the same. So that surname "Wooding" is going to prove a treasure.

I've already got Henry + Ann Brooks data in full. Its just his siblings that have been holding things up. Did you see the origional docs or just a transcript?

Thanks again.
