General Notes: Husband - William Manners Wood

1891 census lists him in parish Church Lawford Rectory in Warwikshire. He lists Warwickshire as his place of birth. 1881 census lists Kempton, Worcester as place of birth. His residence is listed as Mill House in Chartham. Littleton is near Shepperton in Middlesex. According to the January 27, 1893 edition of the Coventry Herald, West Midlands, it was about that time that William received the appointment as Rector of St Mary Magdalene in Littleton. According to the Whistable Times and Herne Bay Herald for Saturday April 20, 1889 it was about that time that he left as Reverand for the Parish of Faversham to become Rector for the Church in Lawford. According to the Morning Advertiser for Friday February 13, 1857, page 8, he was born "at the Firs" near Worcester on Monday February 9, 1857 and his father was a "Captain". He was Rector of St Mary Magdalene in Littleton from 1893 until his death in 1933 (see photo of rectory). He is buried in the cemetery of this church, Grave C45, an ornmental cross in double kerb. Front: "In beloved memroyh of William Manners Wood M.A. Rector of Littleton 1893-1933 born 9 Feb. 1857 - died 20 June 1933 'Arise, shine: for thy light is gone' Isaiah LX.V.1 Also Gwenellen his wife born 16 July 1890 - died 15th March 1970." On the South side: "Basil Mountray Priest son-in-law of William Mannerw Wood fell asleep 7 August 1933 buried at Lewes 'They were lovely & pleasant in their lives'". The church has a stained glass window in his memory . He was appointed rector by his cousin Thomas Wood.

“Rector who is an organ builder” by George A. Wade in Home Words for Heart and Hearth, vol. xlv (1915), pg. 284, reports “The Rev. W. M. Wood, Rector of Littleton Church, near Shepperton, Middlesex, is known far and wide not only as an energetic parish clergyman, but as a musician greatly above the average. The Rector has always been very musical in his tastes, and has, with his organist, made the monthly Sunday organ-recitals in the beautiful little country church at Littleton most successful, and helped in training a very efficient choir. But, though his parishioners know that the rector is a clever exponent of organ music when himself seated at the instrument, not all of them are aware that the rector is one of the finest amateur organ builders in the kingdom. The splendid organ at Littleton is certainly unique among instruments in our country churches, in that it cost well over £1,200 to erect, was chiefly designed by the Rector, and was also partly built by him. It possesses several notable features invented by the rector, and since copied by famous builders into other organs. Not least of the novelties is what is known as "the celestial organ," an arrangement that gives very lovely and soft effects, making the music appear to come from a distance - a useful accomplishment in such a small edifice, where otherwise the sound of the organ might almost drown the singing of the people.”

General Notes: Wife - Mildred Kemble Donne

She is buried in grave B18 at St Mary Magdalene in Littleton: cross laid flat - "Mildred Kemble Wood w. of William Manners Wood 18 July 1894" There is a stained glass window in the church in her memory.

General Notes: Child - David Kemble Wood

His mother died when he was 5 years old. At 12 years old, according to the 1901 census, he was a boarder at the St. Ann's Road Grammer School of the Church of England in Faversham, Kent. In 1903, at the age of 14, he enlisted as a Midshipmen in the British Navy. By 1909 he was a sublieutenant and in 1910 he became a Lieutenant. In 1911 his father remarried and he left the Navy. According to family lore, he emigrated to Canada and worked for a while as a Canadian Mounty and, then, on the Canadian Pacific Railway. In that manner he reached the West Coast and arrived in Washington State in 1913. In 1914 he enlisted in the US Army and served in the Philipines, rising to the rank of Sergeant in 1917 at which point he was transferred to Hawaii. At the time of his enlistment, he gave his profession as auto machinist. While in the Phillipines and Hawaii he served in the Signal Corp. In 1919 he was honorably discharged from the Army. Thereafter he became a foreman for the Hawaian Pineapple Company (Dole). While working for Dole he was awarded a patent for a packaging machine in 1941. He continued to work for Dole until his retirement, holding a number of supervisory titles including Warehouse Division Manager. After he retired, he moved to the mainland to be closer to his children.
