GARROD, ALICE mms PAGE
GRO Reference: 1907 M Quarter in DARTFORD Volume 02A Page 588

However, I don't see a likely marriage of her parents, nor do I see her definitely in 1911.


[ EDIT:
Yes, she's Alice Wood in 1911. ]

A tree on Ancestry says her parents were James Garrod, and Annie Page.
It doesn't have any details of either of them, except that Annie was born in Ipswich (no date).

It came out with a family member. She said gran was garrod I did not know that.I am illegitimate and have just found out some ancestors.I did find the name Alice garrod 1907 Dartford and the name wood the same year.So when my family said the name .I was garrod it put a spanner in the works .I cannot find anything about Alice Garrod.

Forget George Edward Charles Wood - here he is on the 1911 census

George Edward Charles Wood
Age in 1911: 17
Estimated birth year: abt 1894
Relation to Head: Boarder/Pupil
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Charlton, Kent
Civil Parish: Cheltenham
County/Island: Gloucestershire
Country: England
Street address: Newick House, Upr Bath Rd, Bath Road, Cheltenham
Marital Status: Single
Registration district: Cheltenham
Registration District Number: 333
Sub-registration district: Cheltenham
ED, institution, or vessel: 23
Household schedule number: 429
Piece: 15558

It appears to be a Boarding School.

Even if he were entered on the census in 2 different places (it does happen!) its not likely he'd be both a boarding school pupil and a Labourer

"So is that james son and the mother is Mcintyre"

That might be James son, but there don't appear to be any other Wood/McIntyre children. Something weird is going on here!

The 1911 census gives

George Wood Son Single Male 19 1892 Woolwich Kent Labourer On Farm

Assuming his birth was registered in Woolwich, might this be his birth reg?

the image of the marriage to Leonard is on Ancestry.

He's a Farm Labourer age 23 living at 'Maplescombe', Farningham. His father Ambrose is also a Farm Labourer (not that you are interested in him)

Alice is age 20, no occupation, living at 8 Baldwyns Rd, Bexley. Her father James is a Builder's Labourer.

Witnesses James Wood and Arthur Crutts?
