Ernest James Woodfield and Harriet Woodfield nee Wooding
Ernest James Woodfield was born on 30 March 1883 in Kenilworth, the son of agricultural labourer Alfred Woodfield and Elizabeth nee Barnes. He was baptised on 10 June in Kenilworth. His father had originated in Stoneleigh and by 1891 the family had returned, to live at 2, North Lodge, Stoneleigh. Ernest was the only child to survive of his parents' marriage.
By 1901 Ernest was working as a gardener at Easton Neston in Northamptonshire, but on 12 April 1909 he married a Stoneleigh girl, Harriet Wooding, in Stoneleigh. There followed four children. By 1939 the couple and their daughter Beatty lived at Donnington Avenue in Coventry, and Ernest was working as a millwright's labourer. He died in early 1952.
Harriet Mary Wooding came from a very large Stoneleigh family. Her parents were George Wooding and his wife Jane nee Armstrong, and she had ten siblings. Harriet was the second oldest child, born in Stoneleigh on 28 September 1887, and baptised on 27 November. Her father was the gamekeeper at the Deer Keepers Lodge. Upon her marriage to Ernest Woodfield she did not move far from the family home, as the couple's address in 1911 was North Lodge. Harriet outlived her husband by many years, dying in April 1977 at the age of 89. She was buried on 28 April.
Their daughter Dorothy Reed is buried at
B19.6 with her husband Sidney Isaac Reed, and their daughter Beatty Parker's ashes are interred with her husband Ernest Frank Parker at
