⚠ His birth does not match the treeJohn is aged 36 and born in Glasgow. The tree has John Wood born 7 January 1821 in Dundee, which would make him 40. The ages here are rounded and Thomas was born in Girvan, which fits the marriage there in 1848, so this looks like the right family, but his own birth needs checking.
ℹ The wife's nameShe is Susanah here. The tree has Susanna Seaton, born 1829, who would be 31.
ℹ Thomas is the link to the GavigansThomas, the 12-year-old rove piecer born at Girvan, is the father of Agnes Wood, who married Hugh Gavigan.

⚠ The wife is written JaneThe 1861 and 1881 censuses call her Susanah. Here she is Jane, aged 43. Either the enumerator slipped or it is a second name.
⚠ Duncan is not in the treeDuncan Wood, aged 2, is listed as a son. He is not in the tree and does not appear in the 1881 household, so he may have died young.
ℹ Mary fits the treeMary, aged 4, matches Mary Wood born 30 June 1866 at Calton. Thomas is written as 20; his birth date of November 1849 would make him 21.
ℹ BoardersPatrick Gorman, Harry Boyd and Andrew Boyd are boarders and not relatives.
