John Wood either already had or, more probably adopted, a middle name 'Wedg' - this rather conveniently caused his marks to been mistaken for the more famous Josiah Wedgwood
One trade directory (1841 Pigot) lists his second name as 'Wedge' but all others correctly give 'Wedg'. John Wedg Wood died, age 43, in May 1857.
