Andrew Trew Wood

Andrew Trew Wood (26 August, 1826 – 21 January, 1903) was a Canadian businessman and parliamentarian.

Born in Mountnorris, County Armagh, Ireland, the son of David Wood, a merchant, and Frances Bigham Trew, it is not certain when he emigrated to Canada.

A Liberal, he served three terms as a Member of Parliament in the Canadian House of Commons. First elected in the Canadian federal elections of 1874, the election was later declared void. He was re-elected in an 1875 by-election and again in 1896 (he was defeated in 1878 and 1900). He represented the electoral district of Hamilton in the province of Ontario.

On 21 January, 1901, he was appointed to the Canadian Senate upon the recommendation of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He represented the senatorial division of Hamilton, Ontario, until his death.
