Hi there, I am trying to find out more about Daniel Ward , born 27th August 1925, or maybe 1924.

I think he was born in Liverpool and his mother's maiden name was Rush.

He was a farmer's son, ? from Cheshire and in the summer of 1950 was working on a farm in Norfolk.

Any help would be gratefully received, thank you.

Dear Sir:  I am directly descended from a Willilam WARD, perhaps born in Warrington, Lancashire about 1605.  Married Elizabeth WELLS on 10 Feb 1624 in Smallburgh, Norfolk. 
His parents were Johannes (Edward) WARD, b. 19 Mar 1559/60 in Braunston-in-Rutland, and Maria HATTON, b. abt 1608 in  London. 
William's grandparents:  Thomas WARDE, b. 1528 in Carlton Curlieu, Leicestershire, and Alicia Elizabeth BARTON, b. 1532, Braunston-in-Rutland. 
William's Greatgrandparents:  Johannes WARD, b. abt 1506, Carlton Curlieu, Leicestershire, and Elizabeth ASHBY, b. abt 1508, Quenby 
I am working with local historical societies, and will share any info I receive.  Hopefully, someone will have some source documents for these ancestors.  Thanks for this consideration.

Found your website and have started to get back into researching my family tree.
I took several years off due to many things to include being burned out from searching. 
The "Ward" is the branch I'm working on now. Below is what I have so far:

Alexander Ward married Sarah Sheridan on March 21, 1875. Sarah died on 
Sept 22, 1914. They had one child from the information I have - George 
Ward, born on Dec 9, 1975, died on Sept 18, 1953, married Lena Sweitzer 
on Apr 26, 1898. Lena was born on May 17, 1877 and died on May 26, 
1960.
George and Lena had two children - Alfred and Lena May. Alfred was born 
on Aug 26, 1900, died on May 28, 1975, married Laura Lincoln on Jun 15, 
1929. Laura was born on Nov 13, 1903 and died on Oct 7, 1994. Alfred and 
Laura had two children - Richard and Beverly. Richard was born on Apr 8,  
1930 and married Frances Dabrowski on Nov 19, 1955. France was born on 
Oct 16, 1937. They had eight children (information on the children upon 
request). Beverly was born on Jun 14, 1934 and married Ronald Wilber on 
Feb 1, 1957. Ronald was born on Oct 31, 1933 and died on Jun 21, 1994. 
They had four children (information on the children upon request).
Lena May was born on Jan 31, 1899 and died on Jan 15, 1989. Lena May 
married Norbert Strauss and had one son who died 5 days later. Norbert 
Strauss died on Apr 21, 1949. Lena May re-married Charles Planner who 
died on Aug 22, 1952.

Thank you for any assistance and in advance for your help and great 
website. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

SEEKING INFORMATION ON PARENTS/SPOUSES OF RICHARD WARDE , STRETTON, RUTLAND DIED 1635
 
My ancestor Richard Warde died in 1635 and was buried 2 October in the parish churchyard at Stretton in Rutlandshire, England.

I am wondering if any of the following records might exist.

I sincerely appreciate any assistance you might provide.

His widow, Joyce Ward(e) came to Connecticut , USA and died 15 Nov 1640 .

Known:
Richard's will was proved at London 2 October 1635 by the oath of Joyce Warde
Three of his children are buried at Stretton

Edward, 1663 and two infant children both named Richard, 1631, 1633
This is the information I am seeking:
1.  Birth record - around 1585?  Do not know parents names???

2. Marriage records - 1st marriage to unknown (Anne Gunville???) was around 1603

it is thought 2nd marriage was to Joyce Trafford (Traford, Stafford?) at Garthorpe, Leicestershire on 5 May 1606
3. Marriage records for
Joyce Traford.

Some say she was married to Richard Warde, some say Stephen Ward, perhaps both????

Thank you again for any assistance which can be provided.

Dear webmaster, I'm hoping that you can load the following message onto your message 2006 board.

My name is Brett Ward and I'm researching Irish family.

I'm descendant from a son of a large Irish family who emigrated to Australia to seek his fortunes...

I'm seeking information on a family of Wards in lived in the townland of Rathwood, Civil parish of Abington, County Limerick, Ireland.
William Ward is the first Ward I know of to live in Rathwood.

He probably lived (very approximately) from 1775 to 1835.

It is largely guess work that William had at least four sons: William, Thomas, Michael and John (my ggg-grandfather).

All four lived in Rathwood through the period of the Griffiths valuation and its updates.

It is fact that John Ward married Margaret O'Shea in 1825 and had at least the following ten children from 1826 to 1853 as follows: William, Thomas, Patrick, Michael (my gg-grandfather), Bridget, James, Thady, Mary, Margaret and Thadius.

All children were born in Rathwood.

It is possible that if  the family were still in Rathwood around 1880 that they may have been evicted and established themselves elsewhere in Ireland or even emigrated.

Family folklore suggests that Michael learnt that other siblings may have emigrated to the US.

I have a webpage that includes further details www.ward.id.au
Please email me at brett"at"ward.id.au with any information on William Ward onwards.
Michael emigrated to Australia, where hundreds of his descendants reside today.
Kind regards, Brett Ward 21/9/2006 REF 028-2196

 


Looking for any information on Thomas and Beatrice May Ward, who were living in Folkestone in 1981. Thomas was born 12 Feb 1906 in Birmingham and died in July 1981 in Folkestone and Beatrice May Ward had moved away by 1983.

Beatrice had three children, Rene, Kiki and Yvonne from a previous marriage.

Thomas was a ship's purser in Shanghai and most likely Hong Kong as well.

He worked on the Dover Rail from 1963-1971.

I am looking for anyone who recognises the names Rene, Kiki and Yvonne.

If you have any information, please contact Roberta at robertaward"at"hotmail.com 21/9/2006 REF 027-2196

I last posted on WardAndRelateD in 2004.
Still seeking information on John Ward, born 1884, married 1908, died 1968.
A document I have says:
"Hilda Glover married John Ward, a joiner at the 'Salt house' making ammonium sulphate for export during 1914-18 war.

He was an athlete and footballer who lived with relatives in Woodhouse.

There is a road named after him."

There is a "John Ward Street" in Woodhouse, Yorkshire, but I've been unable to yet confirm if the road was actually named after him, and if so when and why.
Any information on John, and especially his connection to John Ward Street, gratefully received.

A family story says John lived with an aunt Eleanor (who married an undertaker George Waller) after his parents died. 

Evidence suggests he does seem to have lived with George Waller when his parents passed, but that
George actually married Charlotte Ward. 

Charlotte seems not to have been a direct relative of Johns and it is uncertain if or how she was related to John - most likely she was a distant cousin. 

The census says she was born about 1851 in Woodhouse to Thomas and Phebea Ward, and lived in Handsworth in 1871.

By 1881 she was married to George.
Any information on Charlotte and how she was related to my Ward line welcome.

Hilda Glovers family had connections to Bedgreave Mill, and she and John had children,

John (my grandfather, born 1913 in Eckington, buried in Aston),
Francis, Arthur, Bessie, Hilda, Mary Elizbath, Fred and Joyce (who married Mervyn Pillinger).

John Ward senior's parents were Arthur Ward and Phoebe Fox.

Arthur Ward was born 1850, Woodhouse, Sheffield, and died 1891 in Derby. 

He is named variously as a cattle dealer or butcher.  Phoebe Fox lived from 1851 to 1886 and came from Derby. 

Arthur had siblings Walter (born 1841)
Clara (born 1845, married James Brooke)

Bernard (born 1848) and possibly George (born c1840).
Their parents were Daniel Ward and Elizabeth Elliott.

A family story says Bernard Ward had a family in Russia, and an old letter seems to partially confirm this - a daughter of his died in Russia. 
This area of Bernards life remains sketchy however and any more information would be gratefully received.

Daniel Ward was born about 1818, Handsworth, Yorkshire (according to censuses)

He married Elizabeth in 1838 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, and died 1869 in Derby.

He was a cattle dealer and appears to have relocated to Derby sometime in the 1850's.

Elizabeth was born about 1816 around Sheffield.

Daniels father was William Ward, a 'Pig Jobber'. 

Apart from his occupation, nothing is known about William, though he was probably born in the late
1700's around Sheffield.

Any information on this Ward line gratefully received.

Please can any one help?
We are researching my Husbands Grandfathers family of Aston Area of Birmingham.

We know George (real name Gordon) lived with his wife Alice, Nee WOOD born 1916 in Ediunburgh,

at 11 Darwin St, Aston, Birmingham at some point during late 1930's and 1940's.

Later, they moved with their children to Weoley Castle, Aston, Brimingham, and eventually ended up in Churchill Redditch where they both lived out their final years with their Eldest son who is still living in the area.

Other Members of the family moved in and around Redditch and to the next town of Bromsgrove and other members moved back to the Brimingham area. 

We know of links to Weston Supermare for the family, and also that 1 son moved to London where he had an extensive family. 
His 2nd oldest son, my father-in-law, lives in Cheddar, just outside the Gorge.
Our main problem is getting back for Gordon/George born 1914 we are trying to find out who his parents were and if he had any siblings. 

I have also heard of rumours of connections to Wales but have never had any proof of this.

Can any one help us at all?
Many thanks,

Hi, I've recently started my own Ward family tree, unfortunatley I've hit a bit of a lull!

I'm trying to trace my great great grandfather.

The only information I have is that he lived in Sheffield and was said to have invented the standing area handle on the trains (leather thing you would hold onto apparently)

For this, he had a street named after him in the Wicker area of Sheffield.

He also sang in a male group called the Ward Brothers and did many clubs and music halls around the Sheffield area.

He later went on to have 2 children, my grandfather Frank and Rosemary (who later emigrated to Australia). Not sure about his wife's name but I do know that she left the marriage when my great grand father was about 10. (c 1914)

Hi There,
I have recently lost my grandmother, Hilda Ward who was born in 1914 and was married to Michael Ward born 1907 in Ballinameen, Boyle, County Roscommon, Southern Ireland.

Myself and my family are convinced that we have relatives that live in Ireland and are trying to trace them. 

If you have any knowledge of this line I would love to hear more! 

Also if I can offer any further info about our current Ward family, I'd be happy to do so.

Hi, Just thought I'd drop you a line to advise you that my great great grandfather Robert Ward b1839 Harborne, Staffs, moved to Rawmarsh in the 1860's.

He was a puddler in one of the iron foundries I think.

They had three children: Arthur b1870, Margaret b1873 and Frank b1876.

 For some reason they were only in Rotherham for about 10 years and then moved on to Hull.

She married John Winterflood, bricklayer / journeyman abt 1830 in the Sible Hedenham area of Essex.  

She had seven children listed in the 1851 census. 

I'm hoping to make contact and exchange information with other family members of this line.

Hi There, I was introduced to this website and am hoping that maybe the brick wall I have hit will dissolve!
I am trying to trace my paternal Grandfather's family, I know that he was born in 1922 in Rogerstone, Wales and that his parents are Percival Louis Ward and Mary Ellen (Helen) Ross, no idea of when they were married or their birthdates.
But I do know my Grandfather Alfred Edwin Ward served in the Australian Army, not sure if he was nationalized or sent over here to serve.
If this rings a bell for anyone or you have found extra information that may help, please contact me on
whirlwindfire"at"msn.com and put Ward in the subject box....

Hello, I would appreciate the following message be put on your website please.
 
My husband's 3xgreat grandmother was Sarah WARD who married three times - GILLBEE, BARFOOT and GRITHIFFS  and raised a large family in Australia. Her son William GILLBEE was a well lnown doctor in colonial Melbourne who introduced the use of antiseptics into hospitals.
 
Sarah was the daughter of William Middlemore Bryan(t) WARD and Sarah LAW born c1804 at Hackney. Her parents were married at St Dunstan Stepney in 1799. William Middlemore Bryant WARD was baptised at St John Hackney in 1768 son of John WARD. There are other baptisms at the church who are possible siblings to William. If anyone has any knowledge of this family I would love to hear from you.

Florence died in 1967 (possible social security number 117-20-6361), My Grandmother received a solicitors letter about that time but never replied to it. I believe Florence married a man called Harold T Worthington. Any help would be be gratefully received.

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.

My research includes Ethel WARD, daughter of Edward Ward & Jane Emily SCOPES.

Ethel was born around 1911? and married Arthur "Johnny" Marsden.

Family sources say they both lived in the Thrybergh area of Rotherham, UK.

My research includes Jim WARD, son of Edward WARD & Jane Emily SCOPES.

Jim was born 1906 and married someone called Alice.

Family sources say that at sometime, Jim lost either one, or both of his legs and lived in the Dinnington area of Rotherham, UK.

Jim signed on for work at Silverwood colliery on July 19th 1922 aged 16

Hello John Ward,
I just found your web site. It looks like it will be very interesting. 
I am Richard Beresford Ward born 1957 Stafford
My Father is Beresford Charles William Ward born 1925 in Portsmouth
My Grandfather was Charles William Ward from Suffolk; he joined the Navy
I also have a brother; Lindsay James Ward 1952 and sister Julie Denise Ward 1949
Looking at your site it seems a surprising number of male Wards include the name William !
Do you know any ancestry links for Wards in Suffolk?
Are you trying to compile the complete Ward Ancestry; that would be great if feasible !
 
Regards & good luck, Richard, r.ward"at"btinternet.com 3/1/2006 REF 001-316
