Does anyone have any information or photographs regarding the Wood family of Dursley.
I have been reserching my family history using census records and what my father has told me, the following is a brief history of what i have found so far.
Joseph Wood,saddler(great great great grandfather) born in Dursley 1802,married sarah,had 7 children,Ellen,Edward,Ozmond,Joseph,James,Rachael,John.
Ozmond Wood, pork butcher and inn keeper(original star inn silver st)born in dursley 1835,married Martha Close,had 5 children.William,Herbert,Alfred,Henry,maude.
Herbert Wood,dairyman/farmer(castle farm)born in dursley 1865,married Mary Malpass,had 6 children Leslie,Herbert(Dick) Edric(Eddie) Eric,Francis and alfred(Bob) my grandfather,all Herberts' boys worked at castle farm with him until his death in 1926 Mary took over the running of the farm until it was put under a compulsory purchace order in the late 1950s when the family moved to Tates' hill farm and Hounds Green(house next to stragglers rugby club) and my grandfather,Bob lived at The Elms (now the vets in stinchcombe)
I have a few photos of Herbert and family at Castle farm,but would love to know if there are any more.
Does anyone have any information about Joseph Wood? or Ozmond/Osmond? or anyone else connected.
Any information would be most appreciated,
Ashley Wood
