In the 1881 census - Henry William Woods of Fletton, Peterborough, Northamptonshire Born 1866k, lives with a Maud Woods.

In the 1891 census (Newmarket), i believe him to be Married to a Harriet and there is a Maud there too - is she their Daughter or the sister from the 1881 census?
The Maud mentioned in the 1881 census was born 1880 Fletton

How strange to name your daughter after your sister!!!

It happened quite a lot actually Sometimes if you go backwards a bit it turns out that they were both named after an older person, so perhaps Maud snr and Henry William had a grandmother/gtgrandmother called Maud.

Ah ok - ive got one sides grandparents and its not there - so maybe its on the other side!

The sister could have been the daughter's god mother!

certainly a possibility - i feel like a proper detective investigating all this!
