Manor House Barton Hartshorn
In my parents house just above the steps going downstairs is a painting , written on the bottom of it is “Manor House” Barton Hartshorn Buckinghamshire England
My parents new very little about it other than it was from Nana Hydes family ,She was a Wilkinson
Was it just a picture of a house,or had a family member lived in it at some stage. How was I going to find out
At this point in time I new we were related to the Woods family through the Wilkinson side of the family but I didn’t know how?. The picture was from one of these families but which one?
It was about this time that I purchased Louisa Maria Wood/ Clark Dunns marriage certificate and written on it was Louisa’s place of birth Barton Hertshire England. She was a Wood and her place of birth was the same as that written on the picture even though it was spelt different. Had I found a Wood family link and why we had the picture at my parents house??
I brought the original Marriage certificate from Birth Death Marriages Historical records web site

I have a printout of the original Marriage certificate .This certificate gave me the following information
1 Louisa Maria Wood and Clark Dunn got married on 30 October 1882 at Moutoa just out of Foxton New Zealand
2 Louisa Wood was 28 years old and from Barton Hertshire England. Her place of birth was spelt different to her death certificate
3 Her mother was Rebecca Wood nee Newman and her father was Joshua Wood On Louisa`s death certificate her mothers maiden name was Goode not Newman
4 Clark Dunn was aged 44 ,16 years older than Louisa he was from Newbury Scotland. His parents were William Dunn and Ellen Dunn nee McLachlan

I then found a newspaper article that linked it all together. It was related to the death of Rebecca Goode nee Wood the wife of Joshua Wood .Her father was Thomas Newman
This article also gave her address as Moutoa formerly of Barton Hartshorn Manor House England

Finally !!!! I new the picture was the house in which the Wood family lived when they were in England, what I didn’t know was how the Wood family were related to my family ?
