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.

From a search at the above site there is an internment for Raymond Cyril Wood at Pinecrest Cemetery, Nepean Township, Carleton County, Ontario. Date of death Sep 28, 1868.
At the same cemetery there are a few choices for Dorothy Wood but under the maiden name of Collins there is
Dorothy Ray Collins, date of death Feb 8, 1971.
Perhaps this narrows your search of Ontario for their daughters to the Ottawa area.

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

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

Did Raymond's obituary only use initials for his daughters names, I'm assuming that they were his children and not a last name of Clemitson. Approximately when do you think they were born?

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 ...

I was just wondering if you had their names or just initials - because they are such recent births and are most likely still living you might want to delete their birth years from your post
