Anna Wentworth was the daughter of John Wentworth, a farmer and Church warden of the Parish of Finchley, Middlesex County, England. At the age of 26 she married watchmaker John Wood. After their marriage, the couple lived in Brighton, where John established his watchmaking business. The couple's first child, Charles (1817-1892), and daughter Charlotte Elizabeth (1821-1837) were born in Brighton. They moved to Littlehampton, England, sometime during 19825 or 1826. They had two more sons, Peter Wentworth in 1826 and John in 1828, as well as a daughter Mary Anne (born 1832) who did not survive to crossing to Canada in 1832.
