Surnames: Wood, Redpath
Can someone help me find the missing information about my gg grandfather George Wood born in Scotland in 1933, 1929 or 1921 according to three different census. He married Jessie Redpath also born in Scotland in 1935. They came to Canada sometime prior to 1851 and setttled in Otonabee township in Peterborough East county, Ontario.
I believe he built the house at 471 Albert Street in Peterborough.

Following are the questions I have not been able to answer.
1. did George have brothers and sisters.
2. who were his parents
3. was he married in Scotland
4. date of marriage
5. date of death (I know he died prior to his wifes death in 1912.
Any help you can give me I will greatly appreciate.

From ancestry.ca
Death:
George Wood, 22 Feb 1904, 74, Scotland, valvular disease of the heart- about 1 yr, # 023261.Otonabee, Peterborough
That is all the information the death rego gives.
Jessie's death rego gives her parents as Francis Redpath and Elizabeth Snodgrass. She was born Edinburgh

IGI
Elizabeth Snodgrass, father John Snodgrass, married Francis Redpath, 12 July 1826, Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.
THere are a lot of George Wood on the IGI. You can look on www.familysearch.org

Unfortunately the 1901 census doesn't give their immigration date. It usually does.
Sorry can't find anything more for you.

Hi Lynne
I am related to your George WOOD through Margaret WOOD, his half sister. Did you get answer to all your questions?
George's father was Robert WOOD from Roxburghshire, Scotland & he married three times.
By his first wife Miss Buckham [not much known about her] he had Alexander Wood Jan. 21, 1813 - June 30, 1903.
His second wife Mary Hogarth had four children, Isabella WOOD, 1820 - Apr. 9, 1894, Margaret WOOD, 1822 - Dec. 6, 1888 [my gg grandmother] & twins James & John 'Jock' WOOD, born Apr. 8, 1827. James died Dec. 4, 1907 & Jock died Mar 7, 1912.
His third wife was Alice GILLESPIE, her son was George WOOD, 1830 - Feb. 22, 1904
I have a picture of Robert WOOD.
Most are buried in this area......in Westwood cemetery or the Lower Keene Cemetery in Keene, ON
I tried to email you directly but your email came back.
