Mount Dennis area 1918-1930
Hello all:
Hoping someone can help to provide me ideas or leads as to finding information though in this case since its my grandmother it maybe difficult due to non-release of census records for 1921 as yet.
My grandmother Christina Lillian Handicott's mother Lily Eliza Caroline Radbourne husband Sidney died in ww1 in England in 1916. In Nov 1917 she remarries Canadian Robert Hamilton Wood(s). Father listed as James Wood.
He brings her and her three children, Kay, Christina and Sidney to Mount Dennis Canada as I have found a postcard dated 1921 sent to my grandmother whose name then was
Christina Wood..........I add the "s" to Wood because I believe this Roberts family to be James Wood and Sarah Hamilton who have Robert abt 1868 according to LDS.
We have family photo of Lily and three kids with another woman and a couple and written on the back it says Sam Wood and wife Mary. I note on LDS Samuel Stinson Wood born Ottawa 1894 died Merival Cemetary. This is possible the Sam in the picture as he looks to be same age as Lily, his fathers second wife./ He is listed as widower marrying Lily in england, the fathers name listed as James like this LDS and there is a SAM.......and a mother with maiden name of Hamilton - hence perhaps Roberts middle name.
I would LOVE to have any info on my grandmothers early days in Canada. She has to have landed here between Dec 1917 and before end of 1921. I do not know where Robert is buried but he must die as she remarries around 1930ish but have not found Roberts resting area.
Sam is buried Mercival and I think online the siblings and parents are buried in Pinecrest and Merival in Ottawa area.
Lily buried in Pinehills cemetery, York - Would love to know if there were any children born to Robert and Lily - where Robert ended up, if I have the correct family for him and where they lived - what was Mt Dennis like after ww1, what did Robert do for a living, etc.
I have but one picture of this couple together yet they spent atleast 10 years or so together - did they divorce? did he die?
Thanks
Sherri
