Seeking 'Wood' and 'Starling' . I am looking to trace my father's (Bernard Wood) and grandfather's (Frederick Wood) family, who lived in North London (Palmers Green, N13 postcode) from the 1910s to the 1950s/60s. Frederick married my grandmother (Edith Mary, surname Starling) who came from Norfolk, and I would also like to trace all her relatives. Bernard was born 1916 and had a brother Aubrey who died in action in the navy in the second world war, and 2 sisters Gladys (but she preferred to be called 'Edna', her middle name) and Beryl. We have a small family - with my marriage the family surname with die out unless my brothers have children! - and would like to meet more members of the Wood and Starling family tree. We would also like to trace some Wood relatives in Australia. In the 1920s/30s a branch of Bernard's family, I think his cousins - called Luther and ? - emigrated to Australia. We found a newspaper cutting from an Australian paper a few years aog but have since lost it - it stated something along the lines that a relation of these 2 was now the Dean of the Uni of (?Melbourne), or some such postiion. We would like to trace these relatives. Please do email us.
