Looking for Mary Ellen Wood (aka Maude) born in Auckland c 1872.
Arrived in Melbourne 1874 on the Hero from Auckland with her family.
Father - Robert Wood born 1838 Old Molhru, Aberdeen
Mother - Letitia Coults ( nee Riley) born Carlisle, UK
Step Siblings - Amelia Coults, Alfred Coults (Wood)
Siblings -
John - 1867 Auckland
Robert - 6/4/1868 Auckland
AUrelius Sam - Oct 1874 Melbourne

I have traced the families of the other siblings, but have nothing other than a photo of Mary as a young woman in Melbourne.

Also looking for children of John Wood who married Charlotte James in Melbourne in 1893.

Children I am looking for are

Harold Joseph/ John born c 1894/1896 in Melbourne

Norman Clyde/ Clyde Norman born c 1903 who married Jessie Marshall in Mellbourne, moved to Sydney, joined army WW2, had daughter Phyllis

Edgar James - found his connections

Phyllis Stella who married Edward Palmer and died in Melbourne in 1961 in a car accident.
She had 2 children Phyllis and Patricia- who I have Found no connections

John/Jack Locksley Wood C 1901 joined RAAF in WW2 and had married Eunice? who was deceased when he joined up..

any connections would be wonderful.

My father is 95 and this is his family that he had no connection with as his grandfather dies at the age of 27, his wife remarried and moved to Sydney and lost contact with the others.

Many thanks
Elaine
