Amelia Wood (nee Aylott)

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

The lady in the picture is Amelia Aylott. She was born about 1868 and spent a lot of her time in and out Edmonton workhouse. In 1886 she settled down with Thomas Wood and they had about 12 children, (possibly 16 but i can only find 12). I am trying to find any descendants her childrens names were:

Elizabeth Florence (Known as and married as Florence Elizabeth) 1883

Emma Maria 1886

Thomas Joseph 1888

Edith Amelia 1889

Alfred Henry 1891

Louisa Sarah 1893 - 1926

George Joseph Charles 1896 (died 1900)

Frederick William 1898

Norah Beatrice 1900

Beatrice Violet 1903

Eva May 1904 (possibley known as Evelyn)

Liilian Rose 1909 - 1990 (my grandmother).

I have information on most of the above children eg who they married and whether they had any children but would love to contact anyone who can tell me more. They all lived around the Woolwich/plumstead area. Thomas sr died 1920 and Amelia died 1939, i think both are buried in Plumstead cemetery.
