Your Charles Wood, born 1842 in Ireland is an ancestor of mine through his daughter Marion, born 1871 in Jackson, Michigan. Charles's parents were Charles Wood and Jane Montgomery. Charles was married to Didame (there are about hundred other spellings for her first name, but this version is the most common) Rier (also spelled Ryer, Rice, Beaur, Bier, Beam, Bear, Bean, etc.) whose parents were Susanna and Johan (originally from Germany, they came to Ontario in 1840s-1850s). I have more info, if anyone wants to know, that I'd be happy to share. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
