HI CATHERINE,

I HAVE TRACED WOODS ANCESTORS OF DOCKING BACK TO A POSSIBLE FIRST KNOWN RELATIVE A JOHN WOODS BURIED SEPTEMBER II 1665.

THERE ARE TWO OTHER POSSIBLE WOODS FROM SNETTISHAM BURIED IN THE CHURCHYARD WHOSE HEADSTONE READS WILLIAM WOODS DIED 20TH OCTOBER 1708 AGE 73 WIFE MARGARET DIED JUNE 1708 AGE 64 WILLIAM WAS BORN 1635 AND HIS WIFE IN 1644.

WOODS WAS A COMMON NAME IN THE DOCKING AREA, HOWEVER THE ST MICHAELS CHURCH RECORDS SHOWS THAT MY GGGG GRANDFATHER CHARLES WOODS A FARM LABOURER 1777 - 1865 WAS BAPTISED AT ST MICHAELS CHURCH WHITWELL REEPHAM NORFOLK. I DO KNOW FOR SURE THAT SOME OF MY ANCESTORS WERE BAPTISED,MARRIED,AND BURIED AT ST MARY THE VIRGIN CHURCH DOCKING

WE MIGHT BE RELATED?? TRACING THE WOODS FAMILY I DISCOVERED I HAVE A FIRST COUSIN IN CANADA THAT WE DID NOT KNOW EXISTED IT WAS A STRANGE EXPERIENCE OUR FIRST MEETING

BEST WISHES FROM MISSISSAUGA CANADA
