Orphan Willie Woods – Help Please.

I'll take a look. I checked Wood and Woods right from the start 

I thought that you must be up early for Canada, Dolly - I remember the Rosemarie days

The 1904 one has him as single and a farmer. Don't think that's him somehow

Not up Early....up LATE...........hubby's golfing in Mexico so I am taking advantage of the added computer time

If you have read the whole thread you will see that we have Charles Wood/s coming out of the Woodwork (no pun).....you may have just found another to add to our collection.

There's a Charles A Wood, labourer, aged 39, Steerage

17 April 1902, Liverpool to Quebec (Montreal) , Ship Parisian, Allan Line

On his own

Hello

There is this birth, which would be not to far from Picton. Aggie could be known as Kate.

Cora Viola Woods
Born September 19, 1905 in Northumberland  County
Parents: Charles A Woods & Aggie Kerr
(This looks like the same Charles found by Nancy in border crossings of 1910 and he was Welsh, so if one and the same, this birth puts him with his earlier wife near Picton and the Orphanage)

Just been reading this!

Charles A Woods 


Not sure about the Aggie and Kate - never come across it before - Aggie - Agnes, etc. Kate - Catherine/Kathrine/Catriona, etc.

Maybe Agnes and Charles didn't marry  Kate came over with the two boys the year after.

Well, don't make me do math tonight...lol  but doesn't that leave her alone to concieve James? Besides I think that may be the Charles A that has had us running in circles before.

Not meaning to be rude but did you try:

Wood Charles H. 35 M 1904 Liverpool to Quebec and view the image?

I have found a Catherine Woods in a cemetery very very close to the orphanage, might explain why he put them in that one.  Unfortunately you have to ask for a request to get information on death date, family etc.

Yes:

Think it's getting a bit late/early for you Dolly!

So

What we have is

a 1901 census in Bridgend,

 a possible family - Kate, William and John travelling from Liverpool to Quebec in 1906 - right age for Willie. Right nationality

a grave for a Catherine Woods near the orphanage

But no definite Charles leaving UK yet

The Charles A could be him - he could have gone back to arrange for a passage or whatever. My Burgesses used to pop across the pond earlier than that

Afraid you are right Gadget....sure not thinking straight.

It would be lovely to find a marriage for Charles and Kate/Catherine/Katherine.  Our death indexes are dismal and even as late as 1907 the wife was often listed in a cemetery with her maiden name.

Off to bed..........I am sure willy's son will be thrilled that it's seems you have nailed them down......except for Charlie but he doesn't make it easy.

Goodnight.

dollylee  hmmm but that would mean a birth with another woman before they came over...what man would chance the two women meeting?  Or am I too tired and just not understanding lol

Goodnight
