Biography
William Wood was born in Gloucestershire, England.
William married Olive Haydon on 22 June 1778 in Cirencester.[3][4] They had 14 children (including one set of twins) between 1779 and 1797.
In the 1805 records of the Cirencester Society in London, for the apprenticeship of son Robert to William's brother Richard as a scalemaker, William was recorded as a cheese factor of Cirencester.[5] This was a term used for cheese merchants – someone who sold cheese as a middle-man.
William died in 1814 at the age of 59 and was buried at the church of St John the Baptist in Cirencester on 31 Aug 1814.[6]
