Hi Al, Don't know if this will help you at all, but in my own database I have 2 references to Ward 6 in Boston. The first is in the 1810 census, one of my Keen subjects, lived on "Second St., Ward 6", the entry was found on roll 21, p. 184 of the 1810 census. The second reference I have is from the 1850 census, where one of my Ritchie subjects lived in Ward 6. This was on roll 336, p. 420 of the 1850 census. The ward numbers probably changed, so you may want to try looking at the city directories for an appropriate year. If I remember correctly most of them had some sort of key to the Wards in the front? Other list readers may want to correct me on this. Cheers, Bobbie > Where would have been " ... the old Ward 6 in the North End ...
