William George Wood was born in Hounslow, England in 1895 and immigrated to Canada with his family in 1912. His family tried to book passage on the Titanic; however, they were unable to reserve tickets and left on another ship the following day.

He was married to Maye (Atkinson) Wood and they had four children: Joyce, Lynn, Dennis, and Garth. He died April 26, 1985.
