  • 14A. Private Harold Freeman Wood
    Private Harold Freeman Wood Figure 1: (Above left) Japanned tin tea tray, black lacquer and gilt made in Birmingham (Above right) The Japanese lacquer tree Toxicodendron vernicifluum Harold’s father, Robert Wood was born around 1853. He was an ornamental japanner by trade. Japanning is a type of finish that originated as a European imitation of an Asian lacquer technique that used the dried sap of the Toxicodendron vernicifluum tree As the dried sap was unavailable in Europe, varnishes that had a resin base, similar to shellac were used which were applied in heat-dried layers and then polished, to give a smooth glossy finish. Experienced workers were in demand and well paid. Japanning was not a very safe operation. The risk of fire in the process of japanning must always have been great. We do not know for sure the effect the smoke and fumes had on workers, but Robert died in 1894, aged only forty-one.i Little is known about Robert’s early life, other than he was born in Worcester, and that, by the spring of 1881, he had relocated to Birmingham where he married Phoebe Alice Haywood, from Bilston, Staffordshire.ii They started married life at 14 Bordesley Park Road, Bordesley, Birmingham, where their first two children Laura and Nellie were born in 1881 and 1882. They were baptised together at Holy Trinity Church, Bordesley on 26th October 1882.iii By 1884 Robert and Phoebe had moved to 87 Wenman Street, Balsall Heath, Birmingham, where two further children, Hetty and Bertram Allen Wood were born.iv By the time twins, Jessica and Howard arrived on 6th April 1888 the family had moved again and were resident at 10 Islington Terrace, Balsall Heath.
