I am researching my mums family tree, the name I am looking at is Woods. My great grandfather was James Woods, born about 1866,who married Violet Price, born about 1875, in December 1891. The children I know of from these two are, Violet, born 1899 James, born 1900, Annie, born 1897, Sarah, born 1893 (who passed away at the age of 21). Theses are confirmed in the 1901 census and living in Stanhope Street. My Gran, Elizabeth was born maybe around 1906 and also there was another son John/Johnny. I have heard they also lived in Pitt Street, but not sure when. Violet Price, although could not read or write had three business', one being in coal, with shire horses. Somewhere along the way the 'S' was dropped, as my Gran's marriage certificate states her being Elizabeth Wood. Violet married a guy called Charlie and ended her days in Canada. Johnny married Gertie (not have much on her right now). I know they had a large family, Peter (who passed away five years ago), Mildred, Dorothy and Jimmy are all I know right now. I heard that most of them went to New Zealand to live, apart from Jimmy, who still lives in Liverpool, around the Fazakerly area, but not confirmed. My Gran lived in Selborne Street, Liverpool 8 and Annie lived at Webster Road in Wavertree. My Gran had two children, Betty(my mum) and Derek, Annie had a daughter, Mary and just found out that Mary had more siblings, but don't know any names yet.. My Gran married Harold George Hayter January 1940, her given age was 33, but when she passed away in March 1963, her age was 49, some years lost there, I know. As far as I can see she was born June 25 1906 I have been told that there was another child born to James and Violet, Cora Katrina, who passed in infancy, I have yet to find evidence of this, drawn a blank so far, not sure of the exact spelling on the name. If anyone has any connections or can help me with any of it, please feel free to mail me.
