I am trying to find any information on my mothers Grandfather Arthur Wood who originated from Bradford. He was married to Alice (don't know her maiden name) and had three children, James, Jack and May. Jack married Lilian and remained in Bradford and May never married. James moved to Lancaster and married my grandmother Agnes Gardner. I believe Arthur's father was Albert but I'm not sure it could be a sibling as we have campaign medals for him from the Boer war. Any help would be much appreciated, especially from someone with access to the 1911 census.
Regards
Doug

Do you have any timescale for them - births, marriages - however vague? Especially need to have an idea who might be living with who in 1911. Thanks.

Thanks Mary,
That is him definitley, I know from my mother that they lived in the greengates are of Bradford. Sorry brummiejan I forgot to put the dates on, this is my first posting, I'm learning. That info should give me a good steer into the Census info I can get hold of.
Thanks again everyone.

Thanks Aileen,
It is the first one, that's brilliant, thank you so much, I have been stuck for ages with this. Wood is a bit too common and I don't have access to the 1911 census so it has been a bit of a nightmare.
Thanks again
Doug
