  • The last definitive record of Richard is the baptism of his son William in May 1800. There is a record of a Richard Wood being buried on 20 Feb 1812 at St Paul's Hammersmith at the age of 62. Although the name and age match it is thought to be very unlikely that he would have been buried in Hammersmith which is 10 miles from Shoreditch where he has been born and lived all his life.
