Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 60 Send Message	On my tree I have a Minerva wood born 1872. She is on the 1881 census with William Nicholson (1827) Droylsden, Lancashire and it states that she is his neice, I cant seem to find who her parents are and what the relationship is ....I have tried to trace marraiges for Williams sisters but none appear to have married a wood...just wondered if anyone could point me in a direction...Lesley
