John (1755-1831) was a keen Wesleyan Methodist. He was a member of the Shelley Methodist Chapel until 1797 when Shelley went over to the New Connection. As John was a woollen manufacturer in Denby Dykeside (Denby Dale) he then began holding meetings in his warehouse at Field House and Old Well House. (He produced Orleans fabric made of a cotton warp and worsted weft but did not patent the method.) Later he bought land on Cumberworth Lane and he and his brother Joseph had a chapel built there. The chapel opened in 1799. He also had a minister's house built next to the chapel and the total cost was £729. The chapel was in the Barnsley Circuit until 1813. Also in 1813 John's firm, John Wood and Sons, is mentioned in a trade directory. His children married and had children and lived locally and the grandchildren went to visit their grandfather, John, on their way to morning worship at the chapel. Like many men of the time John was skilled in herbal remedies. In 1831 John died and was buried on 19 September at St. Nicholas' Church, Cumberworth and the sons continued with the business.
However between 1831 and 1848 the worsted textile business had financial difficulties and the sons used to pray at the chapel to ask that the business might once again prosper.
James (1811-1881) and Tedbar (1825-1899) were half brothers and grandsons of John (1755-1831) and they realised that the business was doomed. James had worked in the family business and had particularly enjoyed the work in the dye house but was also a good gardener. Both young men left London Docks on 3 April 1848 on the "Sultana" bound for Victoria, Australia. The "Sultana" went via Plymouth and was a barque of 588 tons and the brothers were sea sick during the 10 day passage through the Bay of Biscay.They then went past Portugal passing Madeira and Palma and to South America passing Trinidad. At this time there were heavy seas and James was flung down an open hatchway and injured his head on a wall. Tedbar was also injured when he fell from a ladder scalding his arm with hot tea. They went via the Cape of Good Hope and disembarked at Melbourne on 21 July 1828. They went to stay with a cousin, Thomas Bray, in Geelong for a month, before working in the bush at Cowie and Steads Station. They worked as shepherds and gardeners for a wage of £20 a year plus rations. Within three months James sent money back home to distribute amongst his father's creditors. 1847 saw the beginning of his involvement with the Wesleyan movement in Yarra Street, Geelong. Their brother Edwin arrived in Melbourne on the "Madagascar" on 5 August 1849. Soon James became a partner in a timber merchants business in Geelong renamed "Dean and Wood". James' father died in Denby Dale in 1850 and still owed money to creditors. When gold was found in 1851 Edwin, his cousin Joseph Bray and a party of Methodist friends headed for the gold fields at Ballarat and then James followed - first to Black Hill and then to Mount Alexander and Forest Creek. When James returned to "Dean and Wood" his partner retired through ill health and returned to Glasgow. James, Tedbar and their brother Benjamin formed a partnership "Wood Brothers - Timber Merchants" and streams of money went back to Denby Dale to the creditors of the family business. Sarah, their sister, came out to keep house for them. James wrote to his brother John in 1854 and sent £100 and more followed, some of which was donated to the chapel. Their uncle Joseph Wood (b.1788 husband of Elizabeth Burdett) wrote in 1856 that "the chapel is just able to pay its way but without your kind donation we should have been in debt". In 1854 the brothers bought land in North Geelong and built a house, sheds and an office. In 1857 James decided to return to England with his sister Sarah and they sailed on the "Anglesea" and paid off his father's creditors. He met up also with his cousin Mary Wood (1813-1891) and they quickly married on 8 October 1857 in Manchester. They left two months later on the clipper "Norfolk" and after a journey characterised by sea sickness arrived in Geelong on 9 February 1858. The business flourished and James became a Methodist Local Preacher and supported many local charities. Benjamin retired and returned home in 1858. Tedbar returned two years later. After Tedbar's return to Denby Dale he donated money towards a school which opened on 6 July 1874. James' health declined in 1879 and he died in 1881. His will stipulated that, after the death of his wife, the chapel at Denby Dale should receive £200. Mary died in 1891. In February 1899 Tedbar died in Eccles, Lancashire and was buried at St. Nicholas Church, Cumberworth. Edwin Wood died in Australia in 1900. The aim of the grandchildren to pay their fathers' debtors had succeeded.
