Charles Thorold Wood

He married Jane, daughter of Sir John Thorold, 9th Baronet, in 1812 and lived in Thoresby, Lincolnshire.

[4] They had five sons, Willoughby, William, Charles junior, Neville and Arthur, four of whom were painted as children by Sir Henry Raeburn, and three daughters.

Wood hired tutors for his children who included Edwin Lankester (1814-1874) and James Chiosso.

A basic idea that he promoted was that the name of a bird in English need to be parallel to the genus in the binomial.

Among the more severe critics was James Rennie, whom Neville called as a “Bare-faced Crow (Corvus nudirostris) of King's College”.
