Hi there folks,
We believe that our relative was born out of wedlock in Tickhill nr Doncaster. John Wood was born in 1804, we know that there are two John wood's born in tickhill one to an unmarried lady called Elizabeth Wood, how do we go about finding her mum and dad, presuming that they didn't live in the villiage, but they might have.
Thanks

thats my problem, because apparently there were two John Wood born at the same time in the villiage, which i find very curious, so don't really know who is his mother, think the other John Wood, parent is Richard, but could be wrong, really stuck now.
thanks any advice.
