I am researching Sarah Wood of Bay Roberts, her father may be James Wood who died in Bay Roberts early 1860's. She is my gggrandmother. She was born approx. the 1820's and married William Brown on Dec 18, 1849 at Bay Roberts. She died on Mar 16, 1862 at Bay Roberts. I cannot find a date of birth for her or William Brown. Any help on the Wood or Brown genealogy would be appreciated. I cannot find any info on WOOD or WOODS in the Bay Roberts area other than a family of Wood's who moved there in late 19th to early 20th century from Burin Peninsula, I don't know if there is a connection or not. Any help appreciated.
