Hi
Could I please have an 1871 look up for George Wood please. I think he was actually born in 1779:

1861 Census:
Colshaw, Hollinsclough
WOOD, George Head Widower M 78 1783 Farmers 9 Acres Hollinsclough Staffordshire
WOOD, John Son Married M 43 1818 Agricultural Labourer Hollinsclough Staffordshire
WOOD, Mary Daughter In Law Married F 41 1820 Agricultural Labourer Wife Hollinsclough Staffordshire
WOOD, Ann Granddaughter Unmarried F 11 1850 Scholar Quarnford Staffordshire
WOOD, John Grandson M 6 1855 Scholar Quarnford Staffordshire
WOOD, Jane Granddaughter Unmarried F 0 (3M) 1861 Hollinsclough Staffordshire

or probably more likely can anyone find his death for me please at thats all I have missing.
Thankyou

No George,
1871. Colshaw, Hollinsclough.
John Wood 54. Farmer 16 Acres. Hollinsclough.
Mary Wood 44. Wife. Quarnford.
John Wood 16. Hollinsclough.
Jane Wood 10. Hollinsclough.

Does anyone know which district Hollingsclough would come into, as there are plenty of deaths between 1861 and 1871, as far as I can see it's on the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire and has been in both counties at various times!

Apparently it's Staffordshire now but I think it used to be Derbyshire.

According to this site it's in the Leek registration district:

Looks like you need to explore some deaths for george which means
certifs unfortunately or burial info at a particular church

Flagging to archive this now
