1930-35 Francis John Wood next 161 Gt Hampton row & Priestwood, Sandyhill Crescent, Shirley. In 1935 there is also Catherine Evans at Gt Hampton Row, but I think thiis address is probably a business address. Solihul address would not be listed in Birmingham </SPAN>

They like a lot of initials don't they?
He didn't marry Jessie May Wallin until 1904 she was born 1883.
NOW
they had a son Reginald T W Wood reg. Aston Sept 1911 mother Wallin
my Francis J P was reg. Dec 1911 Birmingham mother Popnell.
Ignore me, senility setting in I have got the wrong Jessie.
There is a Jessie Pocknell b. 1872 in Fownhope.
Could there be 2 thomas who were grooms and each married a Jessie.
Can find no Thomas Wood/Jessie Pocknell marriage.
Going to lie down in a dark room and come back to this. LOL.
There was a Wood family living at 57 Essex Street from at least 1918 until 1935.
I think the family lived at 9 Munroe Square, Pershore Street, before Essex Street and they had 7 children before 1911.Thomas Henry became a carter after being a groom.
The Jessie May Wood nee Wallin lived in Penns Lane Erdington and was born in Birmingham.
