John Wood (1826- )

Individual Events and Attributes

  • Birth:

  • Jun 1826

  • Spitalfields, Middlesex1 2

  •  

  • Address: Booth Street

    John was baptised at Christ Church in the parish of Spitalfields on 2 July 1826 but his birth date is not recorded. However, in the case of his older siblings, Daniel, Caroline and Eliza, the birth date was recorded in the baptismal register and indicates that the baptism took place about one month after the birth. Thus it is assumed that John was born in Spitalfields in June 1826. Although the 1841 census gives his age as 14 (i.e. born after 6 June 1826) this does not invalidate the argument for him being born in June 1826 as the baptismal register is considered to be more reliable indicator of his birth year.
