In 1882, David Northwood, 16, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 41 children from the National Childrens Home accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Stephenson, and en route to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

He married Martha Loughlin (born August 8, 1866) about 1886 in Milton, Ontario, Canada.

David worked in the brickworks in Milton, Ontario, Canada, and later in construction. His eldest son, David, died in 1894 in an accident in a Milton trainyard - he was 11. Mr. Northwood died in 1955 at the age of 87. He is interred, with his wife, Martha, and three of their children, in Evergreen Cemetery, Milton.
