Nepean Ontario, of same, spinster, daughter of Samuel Stinston & Mary Jane Griffith; witnesses: Margaret & R. White, both of Ottawa; 2 December 1889 in Ottawa

Ontario, of Toronto, spinster, daughter of Stephen McCrea & Henrietta Read; witnesses: Henrietta McCrea & Mary L. Brown, both of Toronto; 15 April 1908 in Toronto.


Your Robert Hamilton Wood died 2 October 1929 at the Christie Street Hospital in Toronto; aged 69 years; a carpenter by trade; parents' names not known; informant is Mrs. Lilly Wood of 147 Claremont Street, Toronto; burial at Prospect Cemetery on 5 October 1929.
