The 5th child of John Barrand and Eleanor West was Sarah Sophia, born on the 10th November, 1851 at Union Street St. Pancras and baptised on the 9th May, 1852. Birth Ref: St. Pancras 1851 - 4th Qtr (1 - 384). Sarah is shown on the 1861 and 1871 living with the family. She married Walter Wood (b 1847) on August 27th 1877 a painter, and the son of George Wood and Matilda ???? Marriage Ref: Bethnal Green 1877 - 3rd Qtr (1c - 443). I first thought that Sarah Sophia had died in 1879 at the age of 29 just 2 years after the marriage to Walter Wood Death Ref: Brentford 1879 - 4th Qtr (3a - 70) according to information from other researchers, and had no children, but this turned out to be incorrect as she was found to be present at the death of her sister Eliza Barrand in 1894.
Further examination of the census in 1881 shows Walter Wood, builder’s labourer, Sarah Wood and a son, Stephen Alfred, aged 3 months, born in Islington.
The 1891 census shows a Walter Wood (painter) aged 43 from Barnsbury, Sarah Wood aged 40, his wife from Islington, and 3 children – Stephen (aged 10), Caroline (aged 8) and Bill (aged 1).
1901 Census shows Walter Wood, a painter, Sarah Wood, a charwoman, son Bill, and two other children – Eleanor Nancy aged 9 (named after Sarah’s sister Eleanor Nancy who died in 1890) and Walter aged 8. Stephen and Caroline had both left the household. Stephen is found living with the Painter family in Islington as an engineer - he married Naomi Painter in 1905.
The census for 1911 shows Walter Wood aged 65, still a painter, Sarah aged 59, and two children still at home:- Eleanor Nancy aged 19 and Walter, aged 18. The census also shows that Walter Wood and Sarah Sophia had 8 children – 5 living and 3 that died.
The 5 living are Stephen, Caroline, Bill, Eleanor Nancy and Walter. None of these children were baptised that I can find.
Stephen Alfred (eldest son) became an engine man in a bedding factory and married Naomi Ruth Painter (b 1882) on the 10th September, 1905 and moved to Southampton where he had 3 children by 1911, and a fourth by 1920 :- Stephen George, (1906-1980) Edward James (1908–1960), Robert Henry (1911-?) and was employed as an engineer, and finally, Amelia Ruth (1917-1972) Stephen died in 1972 and Naomi died in 1970.
Caroline - No positive record since 1891 census, but probably working as a servant in Luton in 1901.
Bill, Stephen’s brother was living with him in 1911. They both worked in a bedding factory. No positive sign of Bill Wood since 1911 census, but there is a Bill Wood (b 10th October 1889) on the 1939 census living in Islington with a Maud Wood (b 16th June 1899) and a Beatrice Wood (b 8th March, 1887) I believe he may have died in Enfield in 1972, aged 82. The DOB is shown as 10th October, 1889. Beatrice died in Enfield in 1965, aged 78.
Eleanor Nancy Wood married William Job Davies (b 1893) in 1921. He died 15th October, 1943. In 1924, Caroline was living with them.
Walter probably died in 1918 in Flanders.
Walter Wood died in 1916 in Edmonton aged 69 - 4th Qtr (3a-518) but Sarah Sophia Wood’s death is unknown.
