Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 15 Send Message	i am trying to find any info about my paternal great grandfather, whose name was henry wood, he was born about1891 and married eliza. he had the following children, edna, alma, colin, harry, mary and i believe jean. i understand that he was an orphan and may have given himself the name of "wood" on leaving the orphanage where he grew up, which i beleive was in the fulwood area of sheffield. his ancestry is a mystery, can anyone help.
