• Notes

  Abilene in GRO birth record and baptism. Abelina in marriage record. Apparently never married John Wood and is recorded living with him in 1871 as 'paramour', with children Mary Maria Richards (assumed to be Daniel's, though no mother's maiden name given in birth record) and Benjamin Richards, whose marriage record names John Wood as his father.
