I stumbled

roots further back than 1630.
My Grandfather
has traced our ancestry back to 1630 when the first Ward landed in
Barbados, West Indies.
I now
have a complete set of my ancestors who were based in the island
from that date.
But I
cannot go back any further with Barbados records because 1630 is
roughly when the island was first colonised by the English.
My

How can

Tanworth,
Arden, Warwickshire, Solihull.
Hi, I wonder if
anyone can help me?
My grandad was
Alfred Ward who was born in Tanworth in Arden Warwickshire 16/02/1915
known as Sam
My great
granfather was John Ward who lived Tanworth Solihull 1945
He married a
Ellen Elizabeth
HAWKER
Dec 1907
John was
buried in Tanworth 29/04/1947 approx 70yrs.
I am told he
had a wooden leg from poaching.
Now here's the
tricky bit !
I have
John`s wedding cert and his Father was named George Ward.
I can't find
anything out of George Ward.
It says he
was a labourer on John`s wedding cert.

Rotherham, Tipton, Staffordshire.
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.
