John Wood

John was born in 1849 in Sharples.¹ John's father was John Wood and his mother was Martha Singleton. His paternal grandparents were Isaac Wood and Susan (Susy) Livesey; his maternal grandparents were James Singleton and Alice Greenhalgh. He had three brothers and three sisters, named James, Thomas, Joseph, Amelia, Mary and Hannah. He was the fifth oldest of the seven children.

General Notes
- John emigrated to Australia, and married his wife Martha Marten Traynot (1854-1916) in Maldon, Victoria 10 April 1873.
  
  Their son Joseph Alexander Wood, known as Joe, (1878-1950) is the grandgather of john Wood, whom I have a DNA match with. The DNA must surely come from the Lancashire Woods (as other closer relatives are Australian).

Social & Emotional Relationships
- John was a relative of John Wood.
  - Relationship Notes
    - John Wood has a 8cM DNA match to me (and other Mather connections) and it must be via this John Wood of Astley Bridge born Q1/1849, since John Wood emigrated to Australia and married there. The GRO record shows his mother as SINGLETON and there are WOOD+SINGLETON births from 1838 (and before) to 1843 in Halliwell, and then untill 1853 in Sharples.
