Trying to find Wood

Trying to find more details of Joseph Wood possibly born Pennistone circa 1786. Had a son William born Staffordshire/Wolverhampton circa 1820 and a daughter Jane born Stanningley/West Riding circa 1834. In 1854 Joseph lived in Stanningley and was a woolcomber. His son William owned property in Stanningley and in 1854 married Grace Broadbent from Wortley Nr. Leeds. William and Grace and the rest of my Wood family first lived in Stanningley and later settled in Leeds. I have later history of them and others in my tree - the Isles family from Farsley, the Batty family from Harrogate/Leeds and the Pope family from London/Manchester. David Wood
