Following some of the siblings from the main Wood Family branch has taken my research to Lincolnshire, France and New Zealand, another has gone from Middlesex to Hampshire, not quite so exotic, but interesting, nonetheless. One cousin chose a career path in the Army which took him to Ireland, and sadly, his death at a very young age.
The 20th century saw diverse paths taken by various Wood cousins; a Goalkeeper for Leeds United FC, careers in the Navy for several members of the family, an estate agents business – culminating in a high flying helicoptor hobby pilot!
My research has resulted in providing a picture of the people who came before us and what has been handed down to us, which makes us what we are!
