Find Ancestors

Could I have a 1901 look up for Benjamin Wood born 1856 in Holbeck, Yorkshire please? Think Holbeck is part of Hunslett. Earlier occupations have been potter and bricklayer. Its possible (but not definate) he may have had his widdowed mther living with him IF she was still alive. She was Harriet Wood born 1825 in Knottingley, Yorks. I'd love to know if Ben had a family of his own; his brother is my direct ancestor. Many thanks.

Could this be him Name: Benjamin Wood Age: 46 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1855 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Ellen Gender: Male Where born: Beeston, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Hunslet Ecclesiastical parish: St Luke County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Hunslet Sub-registration district: Hunslet ED, institution, or vessel: 56 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 168 Household Members: Name Age Benjamin Wood 46 Benjamin Wood 9 Charley Wood 13 Ellen Wood 45 Emily Wood 21 Florence Wood 6 Harriet Wood 16 Lily Wood 1 Samuel Wood 11 William Wood 3 Yvonne

The name and year is right, although Im not sure if Holbeck/Hunslett is near Beeston. Would be nice if it is him.

Ooh Ozibird, think thats him! Lol just seen youve changed date..was getting excited then!

I think that could be my Harriet tho. Wonder why her family left her in the workhouse, when she could have lived with them. On the 1891 she was with her 2 sons.

Could be this one... Name: Benjamin Wood Age: 44 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Mary Jane (c1861) Gender: Male Where born: Leeds, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Wortley Ecclesiastical parish: St John the Baptist County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Mechanics Labourer No kids.

Thanks for that Orangeblossom, have made a note. Oh I see Ozibird, hadnt thought of that. Was presuming her daughter-in-law hated her or something lol. (Hubby says Ive got an evil mind).

Ozi, I'd say this one... Ben Wood abt 1875 Leeds Middaton, Yorkshire, England Head Hunslet Yorkshire Emma Wood abt 1878 York, Yorkshire, England Wife Hunslet Yorkshire Savma Wood abt 1900 Leeds Hunslet, Yorkshire, England Daughter Hunslet Yorkshire I think he's a coal miner though.

My Ben was born 1856 so not sure about the latter one. Wish I knew if the one who married was def mine. Cant order certs til Im a bit surer really, mores the pity. Thanks ladies!

It's not easy when you have a failry common surname, especially when the change places of birth and move about (and change jobs!!) Hope you figure it out :)

I can rule that one out then, as Ive got him on the 1891 with mother and brother. He was a bachelor.

Made a note of it thanks Ozi. Thanks Orange blossom! The Mary Jane marriage is a poss.
