Greenaways of Ontario, 1800's

Hi, I'm new to all of this, so please bear with me...
My great-grandfather was James Greenaway, born: England, (about 1910); carpenter; Church of England. The approximate year of birth of the following will be in brackets:
First wife (whom he married about 1830): Susan (1809); children: Harrieth (1831), Wellington (1839), Ann (1841), Elizabeth (1848), Sarah (1848).
Second wife: (my great-grandmother): Christina McKay (1834), children: John (my maternal grandfather)(1860-died:1946 or 1947), Joseph (1864), Hector (1867, probably died in 1929), and Mary Ann (?). There was possibly an older son named James.
They lived in and/or were born in the Woodstock/Ingersoll area of Ontario, Canada (in early records, the area was referred to as "Oxford South).
My grandfather, John (Jack) Greenaway, was estranged from his relatives and never spoke of them to my mother, so we have no 'word-of-mouth' records to rely on. Any information would be greatly appreciated. (I have names of descendants of some of the above, which I would be willing to share.)
P.S. I have been searching the internet for census/birth/death/marriage notices for any of the information I have. One of the items I ran across was a marriage notice in an Ingersoll, ON, paper. It told of the marriage of Jennie Greenaway, daughter of James, to Charles H. McDermott, in the her father's residence at Petroleum Center, Pennsylvania. The item mentioned that James was formerly of Ingersoll...my great-uncle? Any American relatives?
