My daughter and I have been desperately trying to put together my WOOD/s side of the family and continually run into brick walls...I am hoping someone can help me with this family as I am hoping this is the connection I need to get past my Grandfather.... My Grandfather Edward James WOOD/s born 1901 in Parry Sound, Ontario. Son of George WOOD/s born in Ontario. My Grandfather resided on Gowan Avenue in Todmorden (Toronto) when he was married in 1924 at the Presbyterian Church in Toronto. My daughter who is LDS just called me from the Family History Centre in Lethbridge. She has been pouring through Microfilms and thinks she has found my GGrandfather George WOOD/s mother and sibs. In the East York Census for 1891 there is a WOOD/s family who lived 1 block from Gowan Avenue where my Grandfather lived. Mary WOOD/s (this is her married name, NOT her maiden name) of German decent, Presbyterian. Her husband is deceased and he was born in Ontario. I do not know his name. Mary is widowed and has the following children according to the 1891 East York, Toronto Census. William - 23 yrs - born in the USA Hattie - 21 yrs - born in the USA George - 17 yrs old Robert - 15 yrs Henry - 14 yrs 2 other children who are not at home at this time. I do not know if all the children were born in USA or where as my daughter did not tell me. This is the first hope I have had in a long time....If anyone has any information on this family I would dearly love to hear from you....Thank you kindly.....Chris.
