The information of John Wood and Dorothy Stennick is very interesting. I found a PDF file that mentions them. https://johnwood1946.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/smith-list....

My Father in law was John M. Wood of NB [married a Dorothy Cobbett-Smith of NB] His father was John Albert Wood 05 May 1898 Saint Martins, St John, New Brunswick, father Alonzo Wood mother Jane Beatrice Grey.

Siblings:
George Clifford Wood 24 Oct 1893 Saint Martins, St John, New Brunswick
Douglas Disbrow Alexander Wood 15 Jan 1881 place Hammondvale, King's, NB
Elizabeth A. Woods, Wilfred D Woods, Lily May Woods, Effie F. Woods,Myrtle J Woods
Oliver W. Wood, M: 12/11/1910 Portsmouth, NH b. 1886 [Goldie May Ordway b. 1879 [George T. Ordway/Nancy Calden
Alonzo was in the 1901 Census for Saint John, NB. His father is listed as John Wood but his mother's name is vague being given as ____ Chapman. NB Land Grants list several John Woods in the 1795 grant. There were also Chapmans, but nothing further to connect the dots to go back further. He is listed as being English. That does not mean he did not come from Massachusetts or Nova Scotia prior to that. It says that she was from King's County, NB.

Would anyone have any additional details on this family?

Alonzo's birth date is correct, it is listed on his death certificate which can be viewed online at
Public Archives of New Brunswick. Jane Beatrice Grey was his wife. I am searching out his father who was a John Wood born circa 1830 -roughly base on age 20 at the time of Alonzo's birth.. He was married to a ____ Chapman. He was born in England, but her place of birth was listed on Alonzo's death certificate as Kings County, NB. So at one point he had to have had residence in St. Martins, NB where Alonzo was born.
