Dear Maureen

I have been following this thread with interest as I also have a Thomas
Wood, direct ancestor b Faversham in 1869, father George Wood, son of
Daniel - but with the information you have, has anyone looked in
Crockfords Directory ? They are on the shelves at the National
Archives, in Kew. Not sure when they began but they may supply another
lead!

regards,
April Wood Ashton
