Henry Wood (-1589)

 

Henry is the first member of the family with an entry in the Lamplugh register. He was buried 01-12-1589. His widow Elsabeth was buried 15-03-1604/5.

As a daughter married in 1594, and an apparent son had a child baptised in 1593, but no other register mention in th 1580s, it's reasonable to assume that these two were born c1558-c1576. That might suggest that Henry was born in the 1530s. Both Henry and Elsabeth would thus have died in their 50s and 40s.

Perhaps the most interesting thing is that their daughter Janet married John Bowman of Lingcroft in 1594. The marriage link to Grindal, Bowman and Steele must have boosted their status.

Children


John Wood (-1637) of Redhow

 

There is no record of his baptism because the Lamplugh register only starts in 1581. He must be the brother of Janet below - if he were a cousin, he would not have inherited the farm.

There is no record of his marriage, even of his wife's name (he left no will)., but he had eight children: Annas (baptised 12-09-1593, buried 28-08-1612), Elizabeth (baptised 05-10-1595), John (baptised 24-09-1599, buried 15-11-1599), Janet (baptised 28-10-1601, buried 11-11-1601), Alice (baptised 04-11-1604, buried 08-11-1604), Janet (baptised 14-03-1606), Henry (baptised 28-05-1609) and John (baptised 23-07-1613).
