Well, the tree is very wrong. Harriet is not Harriet MILLER born London.

Death 16625/1902 WOODS ROBERT - - WINDSOR

Not in Ryerson - Can't find a notice in TROVE

So, when did Harriet die?

 

[horse]

The births appear to fit, however, one tree has Robert & Harriet in London in 1861 :biggrin:

 

[DaveHam9]

I have discarded one tree.

It does appear the births fit up to Amelia in 1871 but not those listed up to 1888 on another tree.

I think I have the two previous marriages and Harriet's maiden name now.

Lots of Harriet CHILDS born in England who could fit.

 

[horse]

I think that tree has lost its way a little...

Birth Date: 1884
Father: Henry Robert Woods

More so since it gives the the death as 1884 London

[DaveHam9]

Yes, the children listed after Amelia don't fit.

Search the index for Woods in RD Windsor regardless of parents and get children.

Interesting how info is omitted:

If age is correct it would rule that one out.

WOODS — In loving memory of my dear mo-
ther, Harriet Woods, who passed away
on April 20th, 1915, in her 84th year.
I often think of you, dear mother,
And think of how you died,
But, oh, it was hard to think
I could not say good-bye.
Inserted by her loving daughter, Emily
Clout.

So the age is good

Thanks Geoff.

That's curious. The index has the age as 63. No other 1915 reg that fits.
