Due to a lack of dates (Birth, marriage, death), I cannot research my grandparents or beyond. My grandparents were Elizabeth Ann (nee Andrews) and Alfred Edward Wood. I have no idea when or where they were born or married. Family legend has it that they had four children. The first two were boys, and a pair of twins (my mother Mary Elizabeth Wood and her brother Arthur Edward Wood, born January, 1919). We believe one of the older boys was called George. The general area the family lived in was Plaistow, West Ham, London. The family broke up in 1921, with the twins split between two aunts and the older boys possibly going to a workhouse. All contact was lost until Arthur reunited with his sister, Mary, through a notice in the Daily Mirror in 1938. Alfred was a corporal MCG (126757, which we assume is some sort of military serial number) in the Essex Corps. He possibly died of TB as a result of being gassed in WWI. Per Mary Wood's wedding Certificate in 1947, Alfred was deceased by that time, but there is no source for that event. We have no idea what happened to Elizabeth Ann Andrews. |
