• NOTE - at FindaGrave they have a Peter Woodrow died 12 August 1874, buried in Meadow Hill Cemetery, Parkhill, Middlesex, Ontario ^[1] - which is where his mother and brother James are buried. But if there is an age given I can't read it.

In the Ontario Death Registrations (Archives of Ontario; Series: MS935; Reel: 7 #001161) Peter Woodru died 12 August 1874 in Stephen, Huron aged 46 (which means born 1828), labourer, Protestant. This Peter could possible be a brother to Benjamin - if Benjamin had a brother??? The informant was Rufus McPherson (married to Lavina Woodrow) so either a brother-in-law of Peters or a nephew in law.
