Mother of Martha Wood (Sarah Wood nee HEAD) (General)

Hi,

You have all been absolutely fabulous with my queries on Flossie Wood and her sister Gertrude. Their mother being Martha Wood an unmarried mother.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

I am wondering if you can help me with this query, please. Martha's parents were Sarah Head and Thomas Wood who married on 17th February 1866. Sarah Head was 25 years old and Thomas 36 (I have a copy of their marriage certificate and a print out of your record sheet of their marriage).

Sarah Head does not state her fathers name on their marriage certificate (or place of birth) and looking at different records she seems to have stated different places of birth ie. 1901 census born Wiltshire, 1911 near Southampton. There seems to be a different place of birth on each record.

I was wondering if anyone could help me trace the birth of Sarah Head. We are wondering if she was born out of wedlock or her mother was a widow and Sarah didn't know her late fathers name.

Thank you so much once again for all your help!

Kind wishes,
Erica
