Sue Mackay added a file for Charles WOOD to the extra information on 1820 settlers at eggsa

His wife was Ann PENNY, and if I [Sue Mackay] have the right baptism for her then she was the younger sister of Charles and William PENNY, also of Sephton's Party. The family all came from Margaretting in Essex, and whilst looking through the post 1813 baptism register to see if Charles and Ann's son Thomas was baptised there (he wasn't) I found the following page at the start of the register. I don't know how all these earlier baptisms fit in yet, apart from John Nathaniel who was the grandfather of Charles, William and Ann, but thought I would transcribe them here in case anyone is researching this family.

Having looked through the older registers I do not discover why the above entries of the PENNY family were collected and placed here by my predecessor. W. JESSE
