[Mary Clark]

Hello, I am researching details of my maternal great grandparents.

We think their names were Jack and Laura Wood.

They were the parents of Fanny Beeney (ne Wood). She was born on 18 February 1888 in Ashburnham, Sussex, and died on 31 May 1957 in Hastings, Eastbourne.

She married Henry Beeney on 12 May 1907 in Bodle Street, England. She and Henry had six children, Elsie, Gertrude, Iine, Ivy, Marjory and Samson.

We think Jack and Laura Wood lived for a while at Redpale Farm.

Any knowledge of Jack and Laura Wood, or suggestions on how to track down records of them will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Do you have the marraige cert of Fanny & Henry or her birth cert?

Have you found her parents or Fanny on any census?

[Pamelawagster]

Found the marraige on Familysearch which has her father as John Wood (Jack can be used when christened John!)
Estimated birth year 1882.

St John's Church, Bodle Street Green, Sussex, England
13 May 1905

There is also another entry on 30th April but I can't access the record,this could be the banns,maybe another member could access the record.
