Hello, My grandmother was Gertrude Ward, married Maurice Georges and produced my mother, Anita Georges in 1905 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. She is reputed to be a music teacher at a local school; he was a Frenchman, from Alsace, and was certainly an 216;assistant headmaster217;. This is literally all I have. I suspect Gertrude was born around 1888. I also suspect they split up immediately after the baby217;s birth; they gave her to a London couple who needed a child. I suspect money changed hands, as the couple and the baby immediately left for the Colonies. Very Victorian melodrama, from the sound of it. Anyone out there with a surplus Gertrude?

| I have hit a brick wall. I am trying to find information about my GGF, William Henry WARD. William was born in Masbrough, Rotherham, circa 1837-1839. His wife Sarah Elizabeth HARRISON was born in Tipton, Staffs, 1835, daughter of Edward Harrison who was born 1841 in Tipton, Staffs and was found in the 1861 census living at Henley Grove, Kimberworth, Sarah Elizabeth being 26 years old, with her brothers & sisters Emma, Samuel, Theodore, Edward, Benjamin, Thomas & Eliza. Due to my elusive GGF, I employed the services of a company to help find him. The result being that he could not be found on the 1861 census. William and Sarah Elizabeth were found on the following census. 1891 census at 25 Midland Road, Kimberworth. 1881 census at 17 Wortley Road, Kimberworth.
1871
census at 9 New Zealand Yard, Bridgegate. The only William Ward found on the 1861 census, at the right age of 22, is with his wife Hannah, also 22 who is listed as born in Dronfield This is ref 3503/49B living at Oil Mill Fold. I am hoping this is my GGF who may have married again. Does anyone know this William and Hannah, and is there a possible link???????? I think Hannah's maiden name may be Wigley.

Hi John,
I wonder if you know anything about the above co.
I have an account of a funeral of Mr E T Moore in 1914.
Amongst the mourners were 'Mr T W Ward (master cutler) and Mr
Joseph Ward representing T W Ward Limited'.
I have looked on the Hallamshire Cutlers website but there
is no T W Ward.
Would you place this query on the message board.
Thank you,
Sheila Beer
sheilamarcel"at"smbeer.fsnet.co.uk 14/11/2004
NB I have searched your web site a lot and it solved one
of my biggest brick walls so thank you for setting it up. My
geography is appalling and I hadn't realised that Rotherham
was so close to Sheffield - and I live in England!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, my name is William Ward. May I say that your site is an inspiration to all who take genealogy seriously. I was born in Vogler's Cove , Nova Scotia (near Lunenburg), I am working on my Ward Genealogy for 10 years now & am having trouble locating my Ward relations around 1800. I have a William & Elizabeth Ward living on a Ward's Island (Dublin Shore area) near the LaHave Islands, Lunenburg County around 1800, they had the following children, William,b-1819, Catherine,b-1821, Simeon Thomas, b-1823, Elizabeth,b-1825. I beleive they came from the Valley Wards' , I cannot make a connection with the William & Elizabeth Ward, who sailed on the ship, "Two Friends" which landed in Halifax in 1774. Later to settle in Beech Hill, Nova Scotia. However I am told of a William Ward who came from England and settled in the Horton area of Nova Scotia around the same time. Little research has been done on the Ward Family especially on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. If u could direct or help me in any way I would appreciate it very much. Thanking you very much, and keep up the good work.
God Bless, Bill & Lilah

Hi My name is Duncan Ward born 13/12/1942 in Huddersfield my parents were Ronald Ward born Huddersfield 1907 and Freda Gwendoline Bamforth born Almondbury 1916. Ronald's parents were George Thomas Ward and Ethel Thirkill G.T was born 1880 in Kirkheaton,Huddersfield.

It would seem I am the only Ward from the Ingbirchworth
branch of Ward's who is doing family history as I can't find
any others and I have searched High and Low. I know there are
still some Ward's who live in Ingbirchworth, surely there are
some Ingbirchworth Ward's out there who can give me
information to expand my family tree
Best Regards

Hi... I am researching my Ward family tree. My g.grandfather John ward came from somewhere in England. I know nothing about him or his family in England and do not know where to begin. He came to Sandusky, Ohio in mid to late 1800. Married a Sarah Jane Haslet 1862. She was b. in Ireland. There could be a possibility that some of their children may have been named for some relatives in England. My grandfather's name was Robert Ward and he had brothers named William (Will) Edward, Joseph, Daniel and Albert, sisters Mary, Susan, Elizabeth, Ann and Edna also there was a Ramy or Rani? He also had a sister named Sarah Robeson. This is a longshot I know.
Just maybe someone has been told that they have relatives
who left England and settled in Sandusky, Ohio and just maybe
we have our English relatives searching for us too.

I am trying to find out more info about my mother's family. She was Elsie Ward, born 19 April 1921, in Barrow Hill, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Her parents were Joseph and Elsie (nee Plackett) and she had two younger brothers, Joseph Eric, and Maurice. Grandfather Joseph had around 9 siblings, including William, Edward, Hilda, Ida, and Eva, and his parents were Edward and Julia (nee Taylor) who married in 1890. Edward's father was George, and I think his mother was Hannah. We believe George may have come from the Derby area. Grandad Joe was a coal miner, and served in the Royal Horse Artillery in WW1. He died in 1966.

An Open Letter:
In 1774, William and Elizabeth Ward sailed from Hull to
Nova Scotia, Canada. With their son Moses, they settled in the
Kings County area of the province. The are presumed to be
tenant farm workers and were seeking a better living
arrangement.
Some information concerning this family.
A record exists of the ship advertisement for the Two
Friends. The advertisement may have played a part in his
decision to emmigrate via this vessel. The advertisment with
source is listed below.
"For
FORT CUMBERLAND in NOVA SCOTIA.
The good Ship call'd the Two Friends, a prime Sailer, (Robert Shepherd, Commander, a Person of Good Character) well accommodated for Goods and Passengers, is to sail from Hull the latter End of the Second Month called February and will carry Children from one to ten Years at two Guineas each; those above, three Guineas each; sucking Children, gratis; and kind of Merchandise or Household Goods at four Pounds per Ton -- All the passengers are desired to be at Hull by the 24th of next Month at the latest. For further Particulars inquire of John Hutchinson or Tobias Hoopes, of Skelton, near Guisbrough; of Henry Richardson, Flaxdresser in Whitby; of Thomas Parkinson; Flour Dealer in Hull; of John Smith, Farmer in Sheriff-Hutton; of Milner and Fawcett, Manufacturers of Sail-Cloth and Drills in Malton, or of Nathanial Bell, jun. Linendraper in York. Letters (post paid) will be duly answered. This fame Ship was lately advertised in the York Chronicle." http://heritage.tantramar.com/shipads.html The ship "Two Friends" of 110 tons, 101 passengers, departed Hull, Yorkshire, England, on 7 March 1774 and arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 9 May 1774; a voyage of 70 days.
A transcript of a newspaper advertisement regarding the
sailing of the Two Friends:
"For Fort Cumberland in Nova Scotia The good ship called the Two Friends, a prime Sailer.(Robert Shepherd, Commander, a Person of good Character) well accommodated for Goods and Passengers, is to sail from Hull the latest the latter End of the second month called February, and will carry children from one to ten years old at two Guineas each; those above, three Guineas each, sucking Children gratis: any kind of Merchandise or Household Goods at four £ per ton. All Passengers are desired to be at Hull by the 24th of next month at the latest. For further particulars inquire of John Hutchinson or Tobias Hoopes of Skelton, near Guisborough, of Henry Richardson, Flaxdressor in Whitby; of Thomas Parkinson, Flour Dealer in Hull; of John Smith, farmer in Sheriff-Hutton; or Milner and Fawcett, manufacturers of Sail cloth and Drilla in Malton; or Nathaniel Bell, jun. Linendraper in York. Letter (post paid) will be duly answered. The same Ship was lately advertised in the York Chronicle".
The Legge List of passengers names all the passengers,
while the Milner List in the "Record of Chignecto" gives only
some of the passengers, but includes details of age and
occupation.
William and Elizabeth (Elizabeth) Ward were married in
England, and embarking at Hull, between Febrary and March 7,
1774, came from Yorkshire to Nova Scotia in the ship Two
Friends. Their rent had been raised by John Mathews, their
landlord and they came to America "to seek a better
livelihood." See N.E. Hist. & Reg., Vol 63, p. 28. With them
came their eldest child, Moses, aged 18 months. They first
lived in Windsor, but soon settled at Beech Hill, King's
County, there being then no road south of Kentville. The
