My grandfather Henry Letten was born in 1918 in a village called Offwell in Devon. His father Samuel Letten also born in Offwell around 1876 married Bessie Mary Wood born in Stockland 1882. My grandfather knew that his mother was in some way related to Sir Henry Wood (last night of the proms)and I am trying to find out how. Unfortunately Wood unlike Letten is a popular surname and I am having difficulty even locating Bessie's family. Any information would be appreciated, Julie Ferry (nee Letten)

I have Letten and Offwell connections too. Joan Letten born c. 1752 married George Cottey. Be pleased to hear from anyone with Cottey/Letten of Offwell connections.
