replying to Debbie Cosmac -  the daughters were H Wood (*) & K Wood (*), both born Belfast, N Ireland.    I am fairly sure H was married 1978 in Ontario, but do not know her married name ...

replying to Debbie Cosmac  - thanks.  I had found this entry too, and also his obit in the Ottawa Citizen.    No-one at the 1968 address could offer any help...     I think she was probably alive in 1971 - but I'll follow this up. 

The problem in finding the 2 daughters is that I don't know their married names - any suggestions on this point ?    Thanks

replying to Karen M - thanks.   I had tried the 411.ca site before & rung (unsuccessfully ..) several D Woods.   Thanks for the obits.com address - though nothing suitable found

Canada / Dorothy Wood, née Collins

Over the years my family has lost touch with my former aunt, Dorothy Wood, formerly Clemitson, née Collins.   She may well have passed away now, as she was born in 1918.     She was originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland.   She & her late husband Cyril Raymond Wood moved to Canada in 1957, and were believed to be in the Ontario area.   Cyril (Raymond) died in 1968, and was formerly an architect.  They had 2 daughters, H_ & K_ Wood.      I would be grateful for any additional information, please.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Info Please on McCahon Family

 Well done on the PRONI records !   There is a list of headstones for 1st Kilrea Presbyterian Church (the one near the Diamond) on  http://www.torrens.org.uk/Genealogy/BannValley/church/KilreaP1/graveyard.html .   My grandmother is buried in plot 130, and when in N Ireland, we have visited it from time to time to make sure all is well.    This takes us back to my great-great-grandfather, John Mc Cahon, b1801, if that's of any help.

( There is also a McCahon in 2nd Kilrea Presbyterian Church (the off off Maghera St) - see  http://www.torrens.org.uk/Genealogy/BannValley/church/KilreaP2/Gravestones.html)

It's not my field, but I was told that sometimes Presbyterian communities didn't have a burial ground attached to their church, especially in the early years (say before 1800), and so some Presbyterian burials may be in C of I churchyards.   Haven't come across this myself, though.     

will be interested to hear how you get on,  ..

Hello there - my mother's maiden name was McCahon, and the family came from Kilrea, where the name seems to have been fairly prevalent, as there are a number of McCahon headstones in the churchyard.
