Im hoping someone can help me with finding the birth of Clarence Augustus Wood in Brooklyn New York. He was born a British Citizen circa before April 1873, probably in the first three months of that year. He was a bombadier in the Royal Garrison Artillery and served in Malta and India. Although born in NY I think he returned to England fairly soon afterwards. He appears in 1901 census living in London in military accommodation, and in 1911 in Hampstead London.
I am very new to genealogy and am struggling to get over this hurdle - any advice most welcome!!

Can you copy and paste his details in 1901? I'm not seeing a Clarence Wood born c1873 in 1901.
