Hi Everyone,
I was hoping you would be able to assist me with some information. I was recently reached out by someone who says the information I have for my ancestor doesn't match up with theirs and I wanted to cross reference and see of these are the same person or if my information is wrong.
I know my GG Grandmother was named Mary Elizabeth Woods (26 NOV 1885 Belfast, Antrim, Ireland - 30 NOV 1957 Lower Merion, Montgomery, Pennsylvania) she married William James Larkin (09 OCT 1876 - Belfast Ireland - 14 NOV 1959 Lower Merion, Montgomery, Pennsylvania)
her father's name was Samuel Woods. I had some trouble trying to authenticate this but as best I could the details I have are as follows:
Samuel Adams Woods (26 OCT 1865 Derry, Ireland - 1960 Northern Ireland)
Married: Mary O'Brien (?) 1867 County Derry, Northern Ireland - Unknown)
Children: Mary Elizabeth Woods
James J. Woods (30 MAY 1892 Co Derry, Northern Ireland - 11 DEC 1957 Lower Merion Bryn Mawr)
John Woods: (Unknown)
Annie Woods (JUN 1901 Limavady, Ireland - Unknown)
The person who contacted me has the following:
Samuel James or Jacabus Woods He was born in about 1863
He got married in 15th Jan 1885 and died in 7th March 1949 in Maghera Co. Derry.
His wife Mary died on 11th January 1939.
(Their side of family) - John Woods - His dob is 22nd June 1895 he married on 10th June 1920 and he died 1st April 1976. Had 13 Children in general.
I was hoping to see if my information is just inaccurate, if I'm getting dates mixed up or if I have someone entirely different on hand, as I'm having trouble pinpointing details. The last thing I want is to be claiming my ancestor is so and so and find out I'm wrong. I'd appreciate any assistance and would like to try and hopefully come back with a solid answer to work on or fix if there's error.
Thank you
