1841 Address: Crowthorn, Ashton Under Lyne
WOOD, John M 55 1786
WOOD, Bettey F 65 1776
WOOD, Mary F 30 1811

this is remotely possible if john is son and betty is widow. 1841 gives rounded ages and does not give relationships.

what I am saying is that you do not have enough definite info to find him on 1841. He is not in his birthplace. You do not have anything on his parents or children from a previous marriage. and he was 49 years old in 1841 so could easily have been married before. There are about 5 possibles on 1841. You will have to do it by elimination and working through each of them in each census till you can eliminate them.

Thanks for pm

From Paula

JUST TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP I PUT THE POST ON AND 10 MINS LATER I FELL DOWN THE STEPS AND PUT MY SELF IN HOSPITAL SO I HAVE ONLY JUST BEEN ABLE TO READ ALL YOUR RESEARCH
AGAIN THANK YOU
I KNOW SAMS WIFE WAS ELLEN THE THING THAT PUZZLED ME WAS THE AGE DIFFERENCE SO I THOUGHT HE MIGHT OF BEEN MARRIED BEFORE ELLEN.
SAMS PARENTS WERE JOHN WOOD 1771 AND SARAH WARDLE 1766 HE WAS BORN ASHTON IN LANKS
AGAIN THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
PAULA
Hope you are feeling better.
If you knew his parents already it woud have been helpful to add it to the post.
I have given you the possible families in 1841 so you will need to work through them now till you eliminate all but one.
