It always helps when you supply dates, however based on the names you supplied…
The 1930 census shows William H. Wood 54, May 47, Ethel E. 16 and Walter R. 13 living in West Burlington Twp., Sullivan Co., PA.
The 1920 census shows much the same info except they are living in Sullivan Twp., Tioga County.
The 1910 census is the most interesting census as it has William Wood (indexed as Woml) 35, wife Nettie M. 28, sister-in-law Fannie Benson 6 and mother Ida Jane Wood 51. Ida is listed as married for 34. Her parents were born in PA and NY. William and Nettie were married 4 years.
The 1920 census shows Ida as widow and working as a servant living in Sullivan Twp. The 1930 census shows the same thing for Ida.
William's WWI draft card shows he was born April 9, 1874 and was living in Tioga County. It lists his wife May Etta.
The 1900 census shows William Wood, born in April 1876, as the son of William H. Wood, born May 1831 in PA, parents born in Connecticut and NY. His mother was Ida Jane, born June 1857. They were married for 25 years and lived in Sullivan Twp. They were living next door to Mark Wood.
The 1910 census shows William H. Woods as the father of Mark Wood.
The 1880 census shows W. H. Wood 49, Ida J. 23, sons Mark 12 and Wm 4. It also lists his mother Elizabeth 72. She and her parents were born in NY. My guess is that William was married before and Mark was from the earlier marriage.
The 1870 census shows William Wood, wife Hannah and among their children Mark living in Richmond Twp., Tioga Co. Living next door are the families of Jonathan Wood 50 and Perry Wood 35.
I believe the elder William was living in 1860 in Tuscarora Twp., Bradford County yet another wife Sarah.
The 1850, 160, 1870 censuses would seem to indicate the elder William Henry Wood was the son of Justice and Elizabeth Wood and had lived in Sullivan Twp.
The 1900 census shows May E. Benson, born in July 1872, as the daughter of John & Betsy of Columbia Twp. Bradford Co.
Some of these records you can look at for free at labs.familysearch.org and Ancestry.com. For those you cannot see for free I suggest checking with your local libraries to see if they have Ancestry or Heritage Quest.
