Thank you for you very quick response. It appears that your James Wellwood married to Mary Doran is NOT the same as my William James Wellwood married to Mary Drennan, as the names of the children for each of these two couples are very different. Thank you for checking.

Please see the information that I have for James Wellwood and Mary Ann Doran:

According to cousin Helen Smith, James was born in Ireland and moved to Scotland in about 1832 then to Canada between 1841-1845 with his family. She provided information on my father's siblings and information on my grandparents and great grandparents. More information from other researchers is in my file needing verification before being added to our family genealogy.

According to Paul Welwood, another researcher, the name Wellwood may have originated as Walwood and has been spelled Welwood in generations back. He states that the Wellwood/Welwood families don't part with secrets easily. Our Wellwoods are not noted in his line.

He said that there are several notable Welwoods in Scotland and that the Welwoods in Ireland were "common."

FamilySearch.com, IGI Individual Records shows James born about 1810 married Mary Ann Doran about 1831 in Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

The 1851 Canada Census shows the family live in Wellington Co., Ontario. James was 48, born about 1804, in Ireland as is Mary Anne. Three of their children are shown as born in Scotland: Ellen, 19; Mary Anne, 15; and JOSEPH, 12. Margaret Jane, 7, was born in Canada as was Robert, 5. All ages were as of their next birthdays. It is difficult to read the handwriting but it looks like James was an Innskeeper.

Elliott, Bruce S. Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario: Wellington. Toronto: Genealogical Society, 1989, p284. Publication code 1823.33 pg. 272 shows a James Wellwood born about 1807 in Ireland immigrated to Canada in 1871.

Elizabeth Wellwood Ray, grand daughter of Wallace James Wellwood, shared information on her family and on those of her generation and the next with me. She said she has a photo of James S. and Isabella Wellwood that she would make a copy of for me. She was pleasant to speak with and we had several conversations in June and July 2007. Several months later, she provided a website where I could download and print the family photo.

Hello. I wonder your James Wellwood marries to Mary Ann Doran may be the same persons as a couple I've entered into my famiy tree: William James Wellwood and his wife Mary Drennan. May I ask if you check against the following info and let me know if you see a possible connection:

1) William James Wellwood ... limited info: born between 1800 and 1831, perhaps in Ireland or in England. Moved to Canada, don't know if his wife came with him or whether they met and married in Canada. He died in 1852 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

2) Mary Drennan ... limited info: born about 1812 in Ireland. Later living in Canada, and married to William James Wellwood

3)William James Wellwood and Mary Drennan had three children: a) James Montcrief Wellwood ... born 1846 in Ontario, Canada, died 1893 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Married to Sarah Jane Mitchell in 1874 in Canada b) Sarah Ann Wellwood ... born 1847 in Ontario Canada. Married to Simon Ferguson Lloyd. Died April 1940 in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. I DESCEND FROM THIS COUPLE, DETAIL BELOW. c) William James Wellwood (JR), born abt 1851 in Canada.

4) I descend as follows:

A) William James Wellwood married Mary Drennan in Ireland OR in Canada. Detail not yet clarified.
B) One of their daughters, Sarah Ann Wellwood, born in Canada, married Simon Ferguson Lloyd. Initially lived in Ontario, Canada. Later moved to Beresford Manitoba and then to Brandon Manitoba.
C) One of their daughters, Sarah Charlotte Lloyd, married William Perry Aylesworth in Beresford Manitoba; they also later lived in Brandon Manitoba. THIS COUPLE are my paternal grandparents.
D) One of their sons, Robert Wesley Aylesworth, my father, married Agnes Alice Nickle, my mother, in Calgary, Alberta, in 1937
E) Myself, Samuel William Aylesworth and my wife Diane.

I have searched extensively for detailed information about William James Welllwood SR and his wife Mary Drennan, but have found very very little over the the years.

Thank you for checking on this possible link.

My James born 1807 was married to Mary Ann Doran. His parents, according to another family researcher Helen Smith, were James and M. Ellen Martins. I wish I knew more. I can verify James and Mary Ann Doran in my line but have no verification for James and M. Ellen Martins yet.

Thank you for responding.

Significant new Info on Rev James M Wellwood Minister Upper Canada (Ontario)

saylesworth1 — 2009-07-01 18:05:27Z

I have just been able to confirm that the Reverend James M. Wellwood is a son of William James Wellwood and Mary Drennan. He was also a brother to my own Sarah Ann Wellwood, who married Simon Ferguson Lloyd, and a brother to a William Wellwood (about whom I know little at this time).

Following is a lengthy summary of the research that led to these findings. I would greatly welcome contact with other members of this extended Wellwood family.

A SUMMARY OF MY RESEARCH ON THE REVEREND JAMES M. WELLWOOD AND HIS EXTENDED FAMILY

1) In 2003 I determined that Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) and Simon Ferguson LLOYD were the parents of my paternal grandmother Sarah Charlotte LLoyd. Further, I knew that the parents of Sarah Ann were William James WELLWOOD and Mary Drennan. In the years that followed, I located extensive information on the LLOYD family, but I was not able to locate any additional information on the WELLWOOD family.

2) Throughout the years, while searching for information on 'my' WELLWOOD family, I found references to the Reverend James M. WELLWOOD, but I was not certain that he was related to 'my' WELLWOOD family. Finally, in 2007, I began to speculate that the Reverend James M. WELLWOOD was indeed a son of William James WELLWOOD, and the brother of both Sarah Ann WELLWOOD and William WELLWOOD. However, at that time I had not proof of this. To assist with my research, I tentatively added the Reverend James WELLWOOD to my family tree, and continued with my search. I noted that at some time he had lived in Minnedosa, Manitoba.

3) In 2007, my wife and I visited in Brandon Manitoba, where Simon LLOYD and Sarah Ann (WELLLWOOD) had lived. We discovered that Minnedosa was close by, and decided to visit the town of and the Cemetery in Minnedosa, Manitoba. There we saw headstones with the following inscripitons. I added this information to this family tree, but knew that I might be in error when I listed these individuals as relatives of mine:

a) Headstone: "Rev. J. M. Wellwood, born Nov 12, 1846, died Los Angeles California October 17th, 1893." A Masonic Symbol and the letters MLMD or MAMD are engraved at the top of the headstone. Also, there is a covering stone which read "J.M.W." at the head and reads "Rev. J.M. W." at the foot.

b) Headstone: "Sarah Jane Mitchell, wife of Rev. J. M. Wellwood, born Dec 17, 1847, died April 2, 1932." Also, there is a covering stone which reads "Mother" at the head and reads "S.J.W." at the foot.

c) There is also a cover stone postioned near to (1) and (2) which reads "Jean" at the head and "Jean" at the foot. I assume this was daughter of this couple.

d) In the same cemetery in Minnedosa, I saw a headstone for "William Myers Hilliard, 1824 - 1915; His wife Alemeda Aylsworth Hilliard, 1838 - 1890." I know for certain that this Almeda Aylsworth and her husband William Myers Hilliard are relatives of mine. Almeda was a sister to my great-grandfather Ebenezer Aylsworth and a daughter of my great-great-grandfather Daniel Perry Aylsworth. Further, Almeda had been a witness to the marriage of her brother (my great-grandfather) Ebenezer Aylsworth and Rosanna Wilson, in 1870, in Ontario. See the detailed NOTES on each of these individuals in this family tree database.

THESE FINDINGS, led to an even stronger hunch that the Reverend James M. WELLWOOD was indeed a brother to my Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD, based on the following rationale:

i) Almeda (AYLSWORTH)HILLIARD and the Reverend James WELLWOOD lived around the same time in Minnedosa, Manitoba.

ii) I assumed that Almeda (Aylsworth) Hilliard knew the Reverend James M. Wellwood, given that they both lived in Minnedosa, Manitoba.

iii) Almeda's brother Ebenezer AYLSWORTH lived approximately fifty kilometers distant from Minnedosa, in Brandon, Kemnay and Alexander, Manitoba. Also, Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD and her husband Simon Ferguson LLOYD lived near to Ebenezer AYLSWORTH, in the small town called Beresford, Manitoba. One of the sons of Ebenezer (namely William Perry AYLESWORTH) married one of the daughters of Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD (namely Sarah Charlotte LLOYD).

iv) Based on this, I speculated that the Aylsworth family, the Wellwood family and the Lloyd family may have moved from Ontario to Manitoba at about the same time, and that these families all knew one another in Ontario prior to moving to Manitoba. Further, I speculated that if the Reverend James M. WELLWOOD and my Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD were siblings, then perhaps conversations between Ebenezer and his sister Almeda led to introductions between William Perry AYLESWORTH and Sarah Charlotte LLOYD, whose mother's maiden name was Sarah Ann WELLWOOD. Regardless, it seemed likely that these four families did know one another in Ontario and, perhaps, in Manitoba (i.e. the families of Ebenezer Aylsworth, Simon and Sarh Ann (Wellwood) Lloyd, Rev James M. Wellwood, and Almeda (Aylsworth) Hilliard).

4) On June 30th, 2009, I located the record for the marriage of James M WELLWOOD to Sarah Jane MITCHELL in 1874. The marriage took place in Gananoque, where my Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD also lived at the time, with her husband Simon Ferguson LLOYD. Further, I knew from census records that William Wellwood Jr, a brother of Sarah Ann, was living with Simon and Sarah Ann in Gananoque at the time. In the marriage certificate, the father of James M. WELLWOOD is listed as William WELLWOOD, and the mother is listed as Mary Millwood (s/b WELLWOOD). Given that the parents of my Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD were also named William and Mary, and given that my Sarah and many members of the LLOYD family also lived in Gananoque at this time, this record was a further indication that I may be correct in assume that the Reverend James M. WELLWOOD was known to and perhaps a sibling of my Sarah Ann (WELLWOOD) LLOYD.

5) Later the same day, on June 30th, 2009, I located the following article about the Reverend James M. WELLWOOD and his family, as published in the Brandon Sun on August 25, 1972 (page 9). This article CONFIRMNS that James was indeed a brother to 'my' Sarah Ann WELLWOOD, and it provides additional information about her family. I have added this information into this family tree. The article reads:

"Valley Vistas, by Peter Neufeld of Minnedosa

MINNEDOSA -- "On Dec 15, 1880," says Minnedosa Memories, "a dominion meteorlogical site was established here. Rev. J. M. Wellwood had come to the district in June of that year and homesteaded two miles eash and south of town. He set up the instruments on the farm and a line ran from the United States to his house befroe the first telegraph was installed at the M. and NW (Manitoba and North West Railway) station. Later in 1884 he moved to town and the meteoroglical station was placed on the hill southwest of town."

Next week the federal government will present a plaque to Minnedosa Museum commemoriating this meteorolgical station and the Wellwood family which supplied weather data vital to West-Man for 70 years. Accepting the plaque on behalf of the Wellwood will be granddaughter, Winnifred A. (Yuill) Whitley of Milita.

I have recently been in correspondence with Mrs. Whitely and received a fascinating letter about the Wellwood family and weather station. The following are excerpts:

"My grandfather, James Moncrieff Wellwood, was born in Hamilton in 1847 and my grandmother, Sarah Janes Mitchell, was born in Ganaoque in the same year. They were married June 2 1874. At that time Granpa was minister of Cote Des Neiges Presbyterian church, and at the same time was taking his BA from McGill. The strain was a bit too much and the doctor advised a complete break for a while, and his congregation gave him leave of absence and he and Grandma were married and took a trip to Scotland and Europe for a honeymoon, returned to Cote des Neiges and were there until Granpda was persuaded to come west as a missionary in the spring of 1880. Grandma and the three girls, Jean, Narcissa and Winnifred (my mother) came out later that year. Jessie and Helen were born at Minnedosa.

"Grandpa's throat played out and he had to stop preaching, but inspected schools spring and fall, went south in the winter and made of study of educational methods down there, and also studied medicine and was just preparing to set up a practise in California when he died in 1892, at the age of 45. He was apparently like "the elephant's child' possessed of an insatiable curiosity and simply drove himself to death. Grandma was a comparatively calm person, and both had a very strong faith which carried them through many difficult times.

"Before he came west Grandpa had become very much interested in meteorlogical observation and was asked to make reports. The station was carried on by the family until my aunt died in December 1949. She wanted to retire, but the department wanted her to carry on just a little longer. Practically the last thing she did was sit up in bed and write the week's report.

"The 'observation' were all important. The thermometers were in a shed at the top of the hill where the Senior Citizens Lodge (Kinsmen Court) is now, and they had to be read at 6 o'clock morning and evening, and for some years at 12 o'clock noon. There were web bulb, dry bulb, maximum, minimum and present temperature, and it was not easy to climb the hill, unlock the shed and read the thermometers by flashlight and mark down the figures when the termpaterure was well below zero. Part of the time, at least, there was another thermometer shed in the yard and those too had to be read. The rain guage had to be emptied and measured if it had rained. If it stormed day or night they were supposed to keep track of the time, they had to measure the wind and the visibility, read the baromter, reduce the reading to sea-level, and then do some figuring and reduce the facts to a code which was telegrapheed to Winipeg. There was a line run from the station to the house, and if the report did not go in fairly quickly the call letters would be coming over the wire. Occasionally the wire would go dead, and then they had to telephone the station and have them sent from there, and sometimes the telephone was also out and then there was nothing for it but to go to the station -- usually when that happened it was storming or bitterly cold. It was a very trying job.

When we were out in the afternoon, Grandma alway had to be home before six to take the observations. After she came to live with us, about 1926, I think, my aunt, Mrs. Workman officially took it over. Mary and Effie Macdonald used to help when Aunt Nomie (Helen) was away or ill. One of my vivid recollections is the winter when I was four and my sister a year and a half old. Grandma went down to visit her daughters in the States and Mother took the two of us and went over there and took the observations. I remember her bundling us up and putting us on the toboggan, pulling us up the hill and then getting down and sliding down with us. One of the winter jobs was to measure the snow drifts, take measurements in a numer of places and then average them. She went around on snowshoes, pulling us and carry a long stick -- about six feet I thing -- and pushing it through the drifts at various points. We thought it was fun but I doubt if Mother did. Of course when we visited over there every summer it was fun going "up the hill" with Grandma or whoever was going. Wrens used to build nests in the thermometer shed (the ventilation holes were just the right size for the wren house), wild flowers were thick on the hill and birds in the bushes. If we were very quiet we could sit in the den and watch Grandma send off the reports.

Grandpa's father [WILLIAM JAMES WELLWOOD] was killed when a sleigh tipped over with a load of wood on Hamilton mountain, when Grandpa was a small boy. There were three children, James, Sarah and William. William went to the States, Sarah lived in Brandon for many years -- Mrs. Simon Lloyd. [THIS IS MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER! swa]. Their mother [MARY (DRENNAN) WELLWOOD remarried a Mr. Birmingham, and had three more children, Robert, Lizzie and Jane. Jane died when she was fairly young and Robert homesteaded near Brandon; the family still lIves there.

"Aunt Jean died at the age of 26, Aunt Jessie married Frank Myers, a lawyer in Denver, and died quite a long time ago, Aunt Helen died in 1949. Aunt Narcissa was married to Robrt Beall, died a few years ago. Her three sons are all lIving in Califonria. My parents died in 1970. My sister, Wilhelmine Kilgour, is living in Ireland, where her husband is managing the Avoca copper mine. Her elder daughter (Jocelynne) is married to J. R. Weston, an assistant professor at Carlton University in Ottawa, and they have two children, Mark, aged and six, and Amy, three. Allison, the younger daughter, is in the library at Hay River, N.W.T.

One of Grandmas' brothers was Colonel J. B. Mitchell of Winnipeg, for whomethe James B. Mitchlell school is named. He was a prominent citizen there for many years. His son, Ross Mitchell, now retired, was a doctor and still lives there, and his two daughters, both now dead, were married to doctors, Ralston Davison and Digby Wheeler.

Grandma died in the sping of 1932 aged 84. the only thin which worried her when she went to the hsoptial was that she had started to crochet a fillet doily for with with No. 100 corcet cotton and had it just half done."

It also suggests some new approaches to/avenues for tracking down further information on the ancestry of William James WELLWOOD and his wife Mary DRENNAN.)

Trying to find out more about the Wellwood family in Potsdam NY. The 1870 census indicates a William M Wellwood age 30, Hellen age 22, William H age 4 months and a James Wellwood age 84. James was born in Ireland and I'm trying to find out if he was ever in Scotland around 1816 or when he came to the USA

williesbaby — 2007-12-04 13:43:33Z

Wellwood or Welwood.. are the same
seems that Wellwood that was and is an irish name, in my tree began it's existence to Walwood from England.. later the surname changed, now my branch of Wellwoods hail from the Freshford, Kilkenny Co, in Ireland,
I do have a few moving to Canada and settling in Ontario.
That's where my connection lies.

I do however personally know Welwood surname and they are Scottish decent.

Also, it's been noted that all Wellwoods or Welwoods are related you just have figure that out.

The area known as 'Touch' is in the Dunfermline area where the
Wellwood (Welwood) family were of some note. They owned quite a bit of land there and various
Wellwoods were town officials and so on. There is even an early note of a
Wellwood being hauled into Dunfermline Abby to answer to the religious officials regarding something
or other he had done and apparently he didn't take it very seriously and called them to account for their own misdeeds.
Not far from Dunfermline is a village by the name of Wellwood and it is the site of the original
'Wellwood colliery' that employed quite a few people in the area. I read one account saying in the 1700's you could still see some of the ruins of the original
Wellwood manor house or estate so it must have been quite old to be in ruins by that time.

Posting of a Wellwood/Drennan/Lloyd/Aylesworth family tree to RootsWeb

saylesworth1 — 2007-01-08 20:10:02Z

I have posted an extensive family tree on some members of the Wellwood/Drennan/Lloyd/Aylesworth family in Canada (and to a lessor extent in the USA) on RootsWeb at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=samayles...

I hope that other members of our extended family may find this information be of value.

My paternal grandparents were William Perry Aylesworth and Sarah Charlotte Lloyd. Charlotte's mother was Sarah Ann WELLWOOD, whose father was William James WELLWOOD and whose mother was Mary Drennan. To date I have been unable to find much infomration on the WELLWOOD family nor on the DRENNAN family.

I would welcome contact with members of the extended WELLWOOD and DRENNAN families in Canada.

My grandparents are my mom's parents and they worked on the Adult Occupational Center as counsellors. My nana says the reason my dad was transferred out of there was probably out of respect for my grandpa Eric Morris. He was one of the best, most respected counsellors on the Center. They're from England and adopted all 5 of their children.

That's all I can think of to tell you right now. Thanks for your help!

Sorry I can't help you. My Wellwoods came from Parry Sound which is not too far away but I don;t know of a Robert Wellwood amongst them. However, they are a very secretive bunch and many of them suffered from emotional difficulty, and some of them had illegitimate children. Can you tell me more about your grandparents? That might help twig some memories. Thanks Pam

Looking for a Robert Wellwood. Not sure of his age although I'm guessing anywhere in his forties. Lived in the Adult Occupational Center in Edgar, Ontario just 20 minutes north of Barrie. Rumored to have moved to Oshawa and married with children. I don't know their names. I have a few leads from Canada 411 but do not wish to call them until I know which one is the one I am looking for. He's my father and I want to be sure.

Hi,
We live in a small town in Manitoba called Wellwood. In our history book it says:
The village and community of Wellwood was named after the Rev.Dr. James M. Wellwood; who came west as a missionary in 1875; and settled at Tanner's Crossing ( now Minnedosa) From where he travelled over a large area conducting worship and organizing schools. He was appointed school inspector and it was during this time new shcools were built at a number of places, Wellwood being one of them. He was practising medicine in California when he died in 1892 at 45 years of age. Mrs. Wellwood died 1932. Both are buried in Minnedosa.
Hope this is helpful to you.
