The family are living at Old Hall Farm, Willenhall Rd, Bilston.

On this census he is called Edwin and is age 11...

- his father Edwin Wood, a cow hand at the farm, is aged 49;

- his mother Elizabeth Wood is aged 38. She has given birth to ten children - six of which are still alive. Four are living with her. Rebecca Louisa Rose is still alive and working for her sister Rebecca Sutton. Beatice Alice Wood marries in 1919, so she is the sixth living child. Therefore the Ethel Wood who was six weeks old in 1901 must have died, 'Poley' I think was 'Rosey' .... same year as Rebecca Louisa Rose and Laura, I thought was Laura Marion who married and lived a long life - so there is a problem somewhere!

- his sister Mary Ann Wood is aged 15

- his sister Edith Wood is aged 9

and his sister Ethel Wood is aged 2

Calling himself Edward, he is living at 111 Green Lanes, Bilston with his father, Edmund and his mother, Elizabeth. He is a labourer at the steel tube factory - heavy work.

His father is a retired milk roundsman and his mother a milk retailer. Elizabeth's age has had two years knocked off it and Edmund has made himself a year older...
