It was my good fortune to inherit a history of the WOOD family written by my great uncle David WOOD in the1890s or early 1900s. In this "pedigree", as he called it, he states that he did not know the names of his great grandparents, who lived at Emmetts Farm in the parish of Billingshurst on the borders of Shipley. They have now been identified as Richard and Sarah WOOD, but did they live at Emmetts Farm?
